...after what seemed like an eternity of internet searches, I've finally stumbled across a valid email address for Robert Legato. Here's what I sent him:
"Dear Mr. Legato,
Please forgive my interruption into your work, as I'm sure you're a busy man. However, I found this email address from a VFX website, & thought I'd say hello. My name is Mark Delgado, and I am part of a Star Trek website devoted to the lesser-known starship models of that series, especially the kit-bashed study models built by Ed Miarecki & Greg Jein for the Wolf 359 battle scene in "The Best of Both Worlds." We've been in contact with people such as Michael Okuda, Rick Sternbach, Doug Drexler, Ed Miarecki, Dan Curry, and several others, who have provided us with invaluable information & photos:
I'm contacting you because of an interview printed in the book "The Deep Space Nine Companion," by Terry Erdmann. In this interview, you state that you created a preliminary battle scene for the opening Wolf 359 scene in "Emissary," but that script changes necessitated that your scene be dropped for what was eventually shown.
My question to you is this: Do you remember anything about your battle scene (i.e., how many ships, names of ships, descriptions of ships, etc.), or have any reference photos that could help us complete our Wolf 359 analysis? Since the Star Trek viewing audience was unable to actually see your preliminary work for the battle, we have no infomation to base our work on. You stated in the interview that you tried to tie-in the TNG episode with "Emissary" by making sure the names of the ships mentioned in BOBW were actually on the wrecked models you built. Any other info you could give us would be greatly appreciated. And if you don't have any info for us, I'd completely understand as well. I'd like to thank you again for your time.
Mark Delgado"
Now, as before with DD, please keep in mind that I'm not expecting him to even respond to my email. If by chance he does and tells me that he has no idea what I'm talking about, fine. But in the off chance that he responds with actual usable information, I'll let all of you know what he says.

You might as well have just pointed the man directly towards that big honkin' thread here at Flare

What, & have him read the crap that some of the people here post? Are you out of your mind?

Yes. Also, Minney-poo, you do realise that your name is printed in large, friendly letters next to your post, don't you? You don't actually have to sign them as well.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

"Pooh". And if it became any more lost Jeff would drive into it.

Ah yes, the elusive 'h'. It was invented in like Winnipeg or shit, so you'd think I'd know, but I don't. Paddington'd kick his ass anyway.
