Question
Hi,

First off, excuse me for my poor English command since I'm a Japanese living in Japan.
I hope you understand what I'm writing.

Well, my question is;
Have you ever been to PGL's Message Board? It's kinda strange question, isn't it? I have never been there since it opened, and I had a peek the other day and I found it seemed there were times that Ben posted messages by using unknown handle name. Some people say in the board that they can tell Ben's message by his writing/humor.
Back when Ben's official site was opened, I enjoyed reading his posts, so I started reading those threads but eventually I gave up. There are thousands of threads! And even if I could read all through, it would be impossible for me to tell which one is Ben's. So I wonder if you had any information about it.

Also,
I like reading Ben's writing. I've read travel log in Conde Nast Travel Magazine and Premiere.  Do you know any other his contribution in print?

These are my questions.

Thank you for taking time.
See you again.  

Answer
Hey Atsuko! first and foremost i have to say that you speak very good english =) Unfortunately, i don't believe i've been to the Pgl's board. Yes, i noticed that too when i read in Ben's posts in his old message board. he has a great sense of humor, but i'm not aware of hoW you can distinguish which posts are Ben's. I believe in the old posts he used to add his signature at the end. That's going to be pretty difficult to figure out which posts ben has written, it's probably for safety reasons if his posts aren't identified. In addition to Ben's writings in Conde Nast and Premiere Magazine, i believe he printed the Jennifer Lopez letter in The Hollywood Reporter. After filming a movie with her, he wrote this letter praising her and he paid thousands of dollars to get it posted in The Hollywood Reporter. Basically, those are the only writings i know of. Sorry, i couldn't help you out with the message board question. Take care!
