[CONTACT] Email from Perplex City Sentinel's Editor in Chief I received an email today from Michiko Clark saying The Sentinel has accepted my article to run in the "View from Earth" column!
He asked for my full name, and a photo of myself so they could create an illustration.

Nah, nothing suspicious. Here is the email:
Quote:
Thank you for your submission to our View from Earth column. We are
pleased to say that we would like to run your entry! There are,
however, two additional pieces of information we would like to obtain
from you. First, we would like your full name (a nom de plume is
perfectly acceptable).
Second, could you perhaps send us a photograph of yourself to
newsSPLAT perplexcitysentinel.com? We would like to run an illustration, but
cannot obtain an image of you to draw from by our usual means.
Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Michiko Clark, Editor-in-Chief

Usual means? I wouldn't call drawing an illustration of a photo of one earthling usual. Especially as 50% of the earth articles so far haven't had one.

Could I just ask one question about the article?
Can we get a leaked pre-release copy? Please? =P

heheh..
No leaked pre-release copies of the article.
But I will let you know that it is about Urban Growth boundaries.
