There are better approaches to finding someone than asking
	on soc.culture.irish.  If you have access to the Web,
	you might look at http://people.yahoo.com/ or if you think
	the person you're looking has posted messages to Usenet,
	you could try looking at http://www.deja.com/ or
	you could also try using a search engine such as AltaVista
	(http://www.altavista.com/).

	You are not likely to be able to find someone using the Net if
	they don't use the Net themselves.  The chances that someone
	reading soc.culture.irish knows them is vanishingly small.
	You're more likely to find them the "old-fashioned" way,
	by asking family, friends or relatives.
