Finally, if all else fails, it is worthwhile to
search the entire internet if the person you are trying to locate has a rather unique
name. Occasionally an individual will post to a discussion group under their own name and
their contact information. Some search engines will search discussion groups, such
as HotBot. You can refer to two references at the BioTactics Web Site: The BioTactics Search page (try the
Cyber411 search about midway down the page) as well as the "how to search the
internet" page to find some additional search options.
