Bill,
Are you possibly confusing my letter with Carleton's e-mailed comment to the 
Post?
I snail-mailed my letter to the three co-authors at AP Headquarters because 
they 
don't accept e-mail attachments.  My analysis of the AP Stylebook metric errors 
was a 3-page Word document (attached to a message here a week or 10 days ago).

Carleton, 

It sounds like you were able to contact people without registering with the 
newspaper. How did you do that? Particularly, how did you get email addresses 
for the other two people mentioned the fourth paragraph?

Bill
