He's making a tradeoff here. This is an ingenious way to filter the 'massive' noise-to-signal ratio on his inbox, but at the same time it makes some of the random but legitimate questions go away.
It sounded to me like you only have to pay if your message gets a response. So I just assumed it would be a lottery as to whether he even ever saw my message. I figure he must devote only a very small amount of time to perusing his messages, and then he must devote an equally small amount of time composing an answer.
So I figured I'd have to get pretty lucky to actually wind up spending the $100 (or $110) in the end. Even so, I'd hate to spend the $100 and find the response was disappointing.
