this is new and hot off the blogsphere!
i will be honest. It is real hard to get these kind of places to answer in a timely manner, i. e. the internet would be best and quickest form of response but I feel they usually take their time and deliver via snail mail or if you prefer US mail, it's up to you.

Maybe they prefer US mail over email. It just takes longer to hear from them and then you have to sit back, kick back and wait patiently for their reply.

And patience is not one of my better virtues.
