Piers Anthony had one ongoing correspondence with a fan, and he wrote so much that he published a novel length book, Letters To Jenny, containing that correspondence. And it's a good read, too. Obviously Peirs doesn't write so much to everyone, and I can't answer whether he responds to everyone, but he certainly welcomes the letters.
Penn and Teller seem to have the same idea: Interact with every member of your audience who wants to talk to you. And they are one of the most successful magicians.
I think everyone should learn from this. Do you write a blog? Read every single comment you get, and reply to as many as you can. Run a business? Read as much customer service mail as you can. And if you are small read ALL of it.
