author's email adress

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

Frequently, the "original author" would not recognize the document as
it exists in the doc repository.  Many documents have been rewritten
over the years.

Also, just because someone wrote a document doesn't mean that they
want to answer questions about it.  That's what mailing lists are for.
:-)
