The question of how to find someone's email address is one that is asked very
frequently.  You can find numerous techniques in the "finding-addresses"

you should be able to find information about how to locate the e-mail address
you are seeking.

Here are some ways of obtaining a copy of the FAQ:

   1. If you have a WWW browser, open the following document:
