The Usenet is a great place to discuss just about everything. There are newsgroups for almost every topic you can think of. If the person whose email address you are looking for has a favorite subject she likes to discuss (and who has not?), she maybe has posted in a relevant newsgroup.

Search for Email Addresses in Usenet Newsgroups

To find somebody's email address:

  • Try searching for her name, or even a topic she might be interested in on Usenet, in mailing lists and other discussion groups.

If you find a posting by her, chances are you will some usable email address in it.

Unfortunately, in an effort to escape spam, not everybody uses a working email address. In that case you can post a note to the newsgroup and hope that your person continues to read the group (and replies to your post).
