Who was it who was in e-mail contact with Okuda? Can anyone contact him or have you guys decided just to have one guy e-mail him stuff? If not, I'd like his address, if it's not too much trouble.
Thanks, MMoM

I have his address and have contacted him on numerous occasions, but I believe Timo has had the most contact. With the whole Ed Miarecki incident where 300 people were contacting him asking basically the same question, methinks it best to have only one person do the talking.
Okuda is a very nice guy who has been very helpful in the past with ST info. He's also been real good with the fans. The last thing we want to do is piss him off, so here's a short list of do's & dont's:
1. Make your question brief & to the point. He's not fond of having to read an email book.
2. Don't send him any pics or other forms of attachments, as he does not like to open something from a stranger's email message which for all he knows could contain a virus (and no one else should, either).
3. Make sure the aforementioned 300 people are not also asking him the same question.
4. And for heaven's sake, thank him if he actually answers your question! It's hard enough to get in contact with anyone associated with ST, especially a nice guy.

If Timo shows up and reads this: I'd like to e-mail Okuda my new Eugenics Wars calendar theory, to. Contact me at dawico@earthlink.net or ICQ UIN 10928359 for details.
Or if Timo doesn't show up, I'd be glad to act as spokesman for anyone else who wants to ask a question at the same time. Just so long as someone can tell me his e-mail address.
