I suggest that a better request is to ask readers to send their names if they would be willing to provides what's needed, and then ask one of the respondents via email to actually do the sending. I see this type of request all the time, and as responsive as our readers are, mailbox overload and bandwidth wastage is bound to occur. This certainly isn't a flame of Jon, just a suggestion of an alternate approach to consider in the future.
