Ok, so I’m trying to get hold of Princhester. His email is not for public viewing, and I was almost going to go into a recent thread he was in and try to contact him that way but that might not be the most appropriate way.  
So, it says to email the administrator, but that doesn’t seem all that appropriate either. Do I email one of the mods, get them to email him to see if it’s ok for me to email him as well?

If his email is not listed, then he does not want people emailing him.

Take a hint. 😉

You can e-mail one of the mods. They will pass along a message, but Princhester may not e-mail you back.

I think some people fear posting their e-mail for public view for fear of spammers. I have not had that problem, and it’s nice to get “offline” e-mails from Dopers.

Addressing **Go You Big Red Fire Engine** as “m’lord” seems a bit odd, considering.
