Hi Brad! My name is Chris Baker, and I'm the editor who worked with Lone 
Shark Games on the hidden puzzles in the May issue. 

I've been closely watching your blog, and relaying status reports to all of 
my colleagues at Wired. We've been fascinated by your process of discovery, 
and the discoveries of other solvers who found your blog. (We all had to 
struggle against the urge to send you hints, or direct your attention away 
from red herrings!) 

I just wanted to congratulate you and all the other solvers who chipped in 
on cracking our codes. I also really appreciate your efforts to keep the 
path to the ultimate solution concealed, so that other readers who're just 
now getting the issue will have a chance to earn some of those "eureka!" 
moments on their own. That's very classy and totally in keeping with the 
spirit of JJ Abrams' essay in the magazine. 

We'll be running an exhaustive rundown on all of the hidden puzzle elements 
in a week or two on wired.com, once more people have had a chance to solve 
it. I'll give you a headsup when we're about to do that in case you want to 
repost the stuff that you've taken down. We'll also be doing a piece on our 
website about the first people to solve the metapuzzle, and we'll certainly 
be chronicling the group that coalesced around your site in that piece. 

Thanks!
