The best way to get to JMS is to post your message to the moderated B5 newsgroup (rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated) and by prepending "ATTN JMS:" to the Subject line of your message. You can post to rastb5m via any Usenet News software you have available, or by sending email to b5mod@deepthot.ml.org. When you post to rastb5m for the first time, you will get an auto-reply which asks you to "validate" your approval of the auto-moderation charter. Follow the instructions from there. (Also ask your local system administrator on how to read USENET newsgroups.) JMS had asked that people not send him private mail, unless the question is personal, confidential, or something you would not want to say on the Internet in general. If and only if your question is such, you can mail JMS at his preferred personal email address: straczynski@genie.geis.com. Note that I do not control the moderated newsgroup. I am just passing along this information. In addition, here are some additional tips how to get JMS' attention. JMS does not answer every question, esp. questions he had answered before many times ("why was Sinclair fired?") or when he is busy (e.g. when production is in full gear). He tends to ignore questions that ask for blatant spoilers ("what do the shadows want?"), or messages with many questions. Stick to 1-2 related questions per message. Finally, read over *everything* that was written in all the B5 FAQs and on the excellent Lurker's Guide http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html. Yes that is a lot of material, but any who consider themselves enough of a fans of B5 to post JMS questions should have read that material at least once. That information alone would answer 80% of people's questions, and JMS tends to avoid answering questions for which the answer is in "obvious" or "official" places. Cheers, Erez Zadok.
