Google's usenet archive isn't what it once was though, now that they obscure 
email addresses and only let you contact authors through their site; if the 
author's using a spam-trapped address or has changed address format (but is 
still at the same location) then it's next to useless.

Of course you may get lucky and find someone through a website, but IME the 
usenet archive was the most useful way of tracking people down until the point 
that Google broke it... :(

cheers
