>>hello everybody, we all know that JDS is not keen on getting mail and does not answer it. however, i have a friend who says that in spite of that she simply HAS to write a letter to him. so does anybody possibly know what address she could use, i.e. his own or someone's address who would forward it to him? Bernd Wahlbrinck<< It's been widely reported that JDS's former publishers (several of which he's not talking to anymore anyway), agents and other connections have long ago stopped forwarding mail to him. I would assume the local post office would feel the same way. So, short of actually physically placing the letter in his letterbox at Cornish or as Matt suggested, being female and having an article published in a national magazine before the age of 18, you're pretty much on Nowhere Island, unfortunately.
