To be sure, net.people is for finding people.  But new users may not
realize (which is why I am following this up rather than just sending
mail) is that most systems have aliases such as "postmaster" or at
least "root" which go to the system manager or administrator.  There
have been many postings saying "I know this person is on system X --
what is your login name?" If you have an site name for someone but do
not know their login name, write to the system manager on that system.
(system!postmaster)
