What are some intellectuals who answer our emails?

I have emailed the following:

-Noam Chomsky: always answers, but has a secretary who deletes all of the jokes and gratuitous insults, so you have to send an honest question. Other than that, the requirements are minimal. Even if you just ask, 'What is your opinion on event X?', he's probably gonna answer you, though usually with a very short, one-line answer, or maybe a link redirecting you to an interview. He's old, so do not waste his time, and try to think if interesting questions instead, or questions about things which truly matter to you, or question that might make Chomsky himself think.

-Richard Stallman: always answers too, and can be very funny. You can make sexual jokes and references to the fact he eats filth from his own foot and he's going to play along. I wrote him a limerick and he invited me to work as a voluntary to Gnu (I didn't reply).

-Harold Bloom: no answer, but apparently some people do get answers from him. Does anyone have more information?

Other than that, I have only emailed scientific authors, like Paul Graham, who are also very tuned to the internet and will usually answer if the questions is honest.
