Why oh why are you so hard to contact?

I am looking for an expert to interview on presenting webinars/webcasts and have so far located three products on the topic whose authors seem like they might be good. However, each one is protected by a help desk and there is no contact information that I can find for them, even using all the Google tricks I know.

Maybe these people don't really exist?

Or maybe they have put their business on autopilot and are not interested in other opportunities?

Or perhaps they're just stupid?

I tried registering at two of the helpdesks. At one, the Captcha program won't accept my numbers. At the other one, I have not received the confirmation message I need in order to post my question.

I have had my email address online for nearly 25 years without any problems I couldn't handle. If you're playing hard to get because you think it makes your life easier, then understand that you're also missing out on interesting things people can't tell you about!

      That's a trick I love to use, but with the rise of godaddy over the past decade, almost everyone is behind "registration proxy" companies these days. When I'm trying to reach someone specific behind a website, I'm successful only about 10% of the time. Frustrating, but I'd suggest to the OP to not spend too much time on it. If someone doesn't have a phone number, doesn't respond to email within a day (2 tops in rare circumstances), and in general puts up those hoops to jump through, I don't want to do business with them in any capacity - life's too short.
