Guess what Max, he responded by private e-mail 1 minute after you said he wouldn't

Now, now, I didn't say he wouldn't, I just wished you luck . I am genuinely pleased that you received an answer. For one thing, your query was very "on-topic", and for another, it confirms that I am almost unique in having Anu consistently decline to respond any of my private messages. Everybody needs to feel that they have something that marks them as special, and for me, that "specialness" shall be Anu's silence
