[comp.mail.misc] finding a compuserve address

stephan@nmtsun.nmt.edu (Stephan Witz) (11/10/89)

	Hello out there in net land.

	I read the article ( apperently one of many ) about mailing from
the internet to a compuserve address, and have decided to try and reach 
an old friend of mine that has a compuserve account. 
	The problem is that I lost touch with him quite some time ago, and
I don't know how to get his compuserve address. As I know nevt to nothing
about compuserve and cross mailing, I would appreciate any help I could get.

Please feel free to email me at stephan@jupiter.nmt.edu., so that I don't 
"flood" this newsgroup with another deluge of silly articles.

	Thank you for your time,

			Stephan

As with any other site doing mail with the internet, send mail to
"postmaster@compuserve.com" requesting their help getting in touch.

I did this and was very suprised by the speed of the reply I got back on 
the address. My entire query took about 4 hours to get an answer; not 
bad at all considering it has taken weeks to get answers from 'normal'
sites :)
