Hi everybody
I hope this is the right forum to ask this question, and I don't know if this has been mentioned or asked before, but I couldn't find it on the website.
I don't see an e-mail address for Randi on the website. I know what his e-mail address is (or was), but does he still read it and (sometimes) reply to it?
I can't blame him if he doesn't, but I'd still like to know. I was going to write him an e-mail and now I'm not sure if and whereto I should send it.
It's not of a very great importance to me, but I'd still like to know, and maybe others would like to know as well.

Some weeks or months ago I found his email address on this website and wrote him several times. I never received a reply.

Odd, because in the past, he was always pretty scrupulous about responding to emails. I've received several personal replies. But it's been a while.

I have had e-mails in the past.
Try randi at randi dot org and see what happens. You can always copy it to the most appropriate person, depending on the subject on this page (http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/contact-the-jref.html).

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll do this and just see what happens.
I could send it to someone else from the JREF, but my e-mail is more directed to James Randi himself.
I've heard him say that he gets encouraged by getting e-mails from people who say they got inspired by him (in different ways). So I thought he might like to read what I have to say.
I don't necessarily expect him to reply (though that would be very cool) and if I don't send it he won't read it anyway.

I had a brief exchange of emails with James Randi earlier this year. I found that he responded quite promptly, so based on my experience, you should expect him to reply (caveat - it may be that he only responds to topics that interest him :)). As per Lothian above, randi at randi dot org was the address that I used.

Sounds like something he'd want to reply to, Milbrandt.

He did reply, and thanked me for the kind words.
I'm glad to know he got my message, even when it's probably just one of many.
I still wonder why his e-mail address is no longer mentioned on the contact page though, but that's just out of curiosity.
