Someone posted this in a UK newsgroups, and I thought as you or someone you know may either know or be able to find someone to setup such a service, I thought I'd pass this on...
Sounds like a nice service and could probably be done by some automatic process, randomly replying with a selection of paragraphs, so each answer will be different.
My children would love to email him too (and get a reply)!
