I see quite a few replies by the OGR staff from time to time. It may vary with their work schedules? I think they currently do answer questions when asked. At least from what I have seen here.
I can't say about the disrespectful comments, don't know on that one? I will defer to the others that have been around here a lot longer than I have. I thought the staff all had emails listed on the OGR magazine website? They used to because I emailed a some of the staff a couple of times, last fall was the last time I remember. May not have been immediate, but I always got an answer too.
I never thought to check their profile and try emailing them that way though? I guess my questions were more magazine related so I just went there first instead of looking here.
