Unidirectional communications

Every morning I click click click down my browser's toolbar to peruse the goings-on around the globe. Occasionally I want to email an author to ask for clarification, send an encouragement, suggest a correction, or just chit chat. Bloggers don't make this easy. You have to search for a blogger's email like Allan Quartermain quested for the King Solomon's Mines. I'm sure this concept is not foreign to my blog-frequenting brethren.

First, a quick scan down the sidebar. Chance of success: 20%. Then a look for an email in their profile. Chance of success: 10%. Then a look at earlier posts for mentions of their email address. Chance of success: 15% (They usually only do this in the early, "Please, SOMEBODY, read my blog!", phase of their posting). If that fails you can enter stalker mode and google for emails they might have sent, or just give up. I'll leave my preference to your imaginations.
