I'm on a search for a particular person.  Please excuse the ambiguity of that, but its the best I can say right now.  I know where this person lives (yep, street address and all), I know a ton of info about them but for the life of me I cannot find something as simple as a phone number, email address (professional or personal), nothing.  Do a search for yourself.  If you're on the net, you'll probably find something within the first page or so.  I come up number 3 on google, number 4 on yahoo and on the 2nd page of Live.  Sometimes I find it useful to narrow it down by including the state, but in this case, since this person is NOT a tech person by any means (not blogging, twittering, myspace/facebook, etc) -- its almost impossible.

I don't know if this person has nerds sittin around ...its possible but increases the complexity of the search.  I understand I could send a letter, but that doesn't mean I get a reply.  Best case, phone call.  Worst case, email. I'm considering releasing this task to the collective (the internet) and just "see what happens".  Hmmm...
