A long time ago, I had desired to ask a question of mssrs. Niven & Pournelle,
and looked them up in the appropriate edition of Who's Who.  There were
perfectly reasonable addresses in the book.  Not something that looked like
this: P.O. Box 11177 NY, NY, but: more like 1234 Shady Tree Lane, Suburban
Town, CA.  It is possible that either mssrs. Donaldson or Gibson would respond
to a question if sent directly to them.  However, they could also be inundated
with fan mail, and forward it all to some hapless drone at the publishers or
the trash can :-).

Has anyone had any luck getting there with surface mail?  Is there good reason
to believe that some/all of these folks are buried with piles of mail that
starts with: "I've got this great story I want to get published that just
needs the right person to read it, and I've decided you're that person..."

when everyone is out to get you, being paranoid is just good thinking.
