Good point Bill!
A cursory search for the members of the list resulted in...
(SINGLE success first)
Mr. Mitchell Kapor
Chairman
Electronic Frontier Foundation, Inc.

(Sort of success)
Dr. Toni Carbo Bearman

Account used on Mon Feb 24, 1992.
The rest MAY be E-Mailable, but one of the following conditions
were found on a cursory search:
1. No recognizable domain at rs.internic.net whois server
2. Domain refuses Finger connections or is unreachable
3. There are so many block nets that individual addressability
is indeterminable on cursory search.
Typical Examples
Ms. Susan Herman
General Manager
Department of Telecommunications
City of Los Angeles
50-some entries for Los Angeles CO none listed for City
Mr. James R. Houghton
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Corning Incorporated
[CORNING.COM] Finger: Connection refused
Mr. Robert E. Kahn
President
Corporation for National Research Initiatives
No match for "NATIONAL RESEARCH INITIATIVES" nor anything close
in the rs whois database.
Mr. Edward R. McCracken
President and Chief Executive Officer
Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Finger says: send mail to postmaster@sgi.sgi.com
It DOES make one wonder just how interested this advisory board is in
maintenance of connectability at the individual level!
