A request for a list tag in the subject

That paragraph is there, yes. What's missing is contact information for any
of those people as well as some indication of who's responsible for what.
Obviously I wouldn't contact Steve and probably not Corwin. Should I then
start trying to track down email addresses for the other two named gentlemen
or one of the unnamed volunteers? It's true that I might have an email from
one of those gentlemen in a folder someplace, but there's no guarantee of
that.

*shrug*

The mailing lists page itself lists the rules and the subscribe/unsubscribe
links but it doesn't say a word about how runs the lists or how to contact
them. The "About Us" page lists all of those names also, again without any
contact information or indication of who's responsible for what. 

I'm not intending to be critical of the website here. Just responding to the
implication that I didn't do due diligence in trying to find the information
I needed. The only email address I eventually found just now by clicking
every link on the navbar was webmaster at dragaera.info. Insofar as I didn't do
that yesterday, I'll grant you your argument. Personally, I don't feel you
should have to explore every page on a website in order to contact the
operators but everyone has a different bar for what's proper.
