In addition, I wonder how often it is necessary to contact a site coordinator outside of the following two cases: - You are trying to contact the coordinator at a neighboring site. For most sites, it is pretty easy to keep track of exactly who this is. - You are sending something to the coordinators for a large number of sites. For this, just use net.news. I think the idea of a standard method of contacting Usenet site coordinators is possibly a good one, but we should be aware of what we expect to gain by it, as well as figure out what to do with those who can't or won't conform.
