Am I Worth His Time? Let's Just Wait and See

Here is my e-mail that I sent to my Op-Ed writer.

Mr. Bob Herbert,

My name is David Heckman, and I am a junior at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am currently in AP English Language and Compostion. One of our assignments was to follow an Op-Ed writer and blog about them and their articles. I chose you to follow. Our latest assignment was to choose an article, state the writer's claim, state a concession made by the author, list examples that support the author's claim, and finally agree or disagree with their stance. The article of yours I chose to read was "Winning the Class War". I was wondering if there would be any way that you could supply me with more examples relating to that article, related issues, or recommend other articles that I could read pertaining to this topic. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
David Heckman

I have not yet recieved an e-mail back from Bob Herbert, or from any New York Times employees. I understand that writer's like these are very busy, and probably recieve hundreds of e-mails daily. I am not sure of the likliness that I receive an e-mail back, because after sending the message through the New York Times website, a message appeared saying that the message probably was not even sent to him. Most likely, my e-mail ended up in some secretary's junk pile, but in the case that I do get some sort of response I will be sure to add it on here.
