Yep, he's been showing up there in the Trek Literature and (more importantly) in the Trek Tech forums.
Anyway, I brought up the subject of the alleged Sovereign and Intrepid registries. Capt. Kyle Amasov asked about the DS9TM kitbash ships.
Here's his reply:

I can't confirm anything about the kitbashed ships; I didn't see any of them in the flesh and haven't examined the episodes. Doug says he got pictures of them to do his illustrations, so I assume the models (or CGI renders) were real. I cobbled together dimensions and ship specs from what meager info I was given about each one. Some cut-n-paste data in the text that should have gotten unique numbers got missed, so there was some duplication; apologies.

That's funny...I distinctly remember someone saying that Drexler might have had reference photos which he based his drawings on, and that someone should email him about it. I wonder who that person was...

Who said 'good news travel at transwarp'? Think it was Janeway. (Oh my god. I did it. I quoted Janeway. The end is near! )
Funny how many famous people visit those boards. And there are even more who just sit back and read them. I know it. But don't ask me who.

(BTW, I searched the net for more than an hour with different search engines, but this guy seems to be a myth. Not a single reference where to find him.)

Kyle: I did the same thing with Robert Legato. I came up with only two email addresses for the name, both in California. Pressing my luck, I emailed both of them with my request (info about the unused Wolf 359 footage), putting in a disclaimer that if they weren't the Rob Legato I was looking for, to please ignore this email. I guess they weren't, because I got no reply.
Regarding Drexler's address: I know it's out there because someone from here emailed him about the Akiraprise. He also responded in an amicable way, with some good information. Unfortunately, I don't remember who it was who mailed him. I'd be more than happy to mail him myself if someone would just give me the address.

That's funny, I saw somewhere that the Intrepid's registry was 74650.
