About the Galaxy-class ship from the DS9 calendar (the NCC-70564, mentioned on p.6). I was just over at TrekBBS and they've been discussing it there. One of the members there, Cpt. Kyle Amasov, emailed Gary Hutzel about it. Anyway, apparently the ship was labeled USS Ronald D. Moore after the famed Trek writer.

On a more useful note (with respect to this thread), I'll point out that Digital Domain's directory also contains the phone number of Robert Legato. I suggest someone with the ability to record the conversation phone him about that lost footage from "Emissary."

that would be creepy.
Mrs. L: Who was on the phone honey?
Rob: Some kids called and wanted to know the resgistry on the Apollo-class model.
Mrs L: I'm leaving you.

Well, given that I've e-mailed/chatted with Alex Jaeger, Mike Okuda, Rick Sternbach, David Stipes, Mojo, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, David Lombardi, Rob Bonchune, Andrew Robinson, Joe Michael Straczynski, George Johnsen, Timothy Earls and Andrew Probert, I don't mind adding a few more names to the list. But I'd have to get a phone card and make notes on paper.
Here's what the designated caller should do:
1) Say hello 2) Say he's representing the Flare forums which are researching this as a hobby, and that he likes his work. 3) In the process of asking the questions, let him know how much you know about this stuff already. He'll feel more at home, and trust that he's giving the information in the right hands. 4) Ask him how many models were built, and if he could describe those he remembers (or whatever, I'm not the Wolf 359 expert here).

Oh yeah, can't let sensitive Starfleet information fall into the 'wrong hands', now can we?
"Um, you sound like you have a Jem'Hadar accent..."
"Quiet, weak human. Now tell me the exact Federation ship loss at Chin'taka plus a class by class breakdown or I'll skin you and your family! Or maybe I'll do so anyways!"
"I'm gonna hang up now..."

Um, stupid. Better to make a self-depreciating joke about tech-obsessed trekkies. Then say you really like his work. But not too many reallys, because then you'll be annoying.

As opposed to the Russkies? How about good ol'-fashioned being nice and friendly and not-too-weird and letting him get as dorky as he wants to get?

Fine, but let's remember Jaegergate and Jeingate Were he to speak for two minutes we'd inevitably triple what we already know about this lost footage.
Now, um, has anyone realized that digging up his home(?) phone number from somewhere online and bugging him unsolicited is a little, um, psycho? Doing the above as advertised might well be nerdy enough to warrant the tape's inclusion into "Trekkies II"

Read what I write. I said the number is in Digital Domain's directory. Digital Domain is a commercial company for which Legato does freelance work. It's a public phone number. Do I have to spell it out?

No, there's nothing psycho about it. We're trying to track down some information and he's the most likely person who'd be able to help us. So we call him and ask him about it. See if maybe he can help us out. It's not a big deal. And it certainly isn't "psycho".
That is, unless we ALL start calling him. Let's be clear on who's going to. We don't want another situation like with Miarecki...

Step 1) I looked at Dax' post about Gary Hutzel revealing information.
Step 2) I immediately went over to TrekBBS where I learned that the fellow found the e-mail address at Digital Domain.
Step 3) I did a google search for Digital Domain Gary Hutzel, and found the page.
Step 4) I saw a bunch of other familiar names listed and decided to inform people here, but without posting the number which can be easily found in four steps! That's to prevent spreading of this information online.

Perhaps I'm being Puritanical, but it still seems a little invasive, especially if it's a home number.
Indeed, as per this, the number's either unlisted or didn't exist when it was last compiled.

See, you're on the wrong tack when you call this research. Figuring out the protein morphology in the seminiferous fluids of mice is research. This is called "asking."

Well, there's scientific research, and there's research for a book which often consists of interviewing people.
WHATEVER I don't care, I'm not a Wolf 359 fan, it's up to everyone interested in Wolf 359 (except the astronomers and the astrophysicists) to decide. If I see anything, I pass it on. That simple.
