I just looked in my directory trying to figure out if I could call "bitcoin" directly, and since I did not find a listing, I looked under king daddy, honey badger, satoshi nakamoto, and lillie fiend.. still no luck. 

Personally, I cannot find any way to get in touch with bitcoin or any of the pseudonyms that I can think of to make a request for UPpity. 

Probably there is someone better connected than me.. perhaps?  perhaps?   

I was a little shocked that you said something, LFC, because I was thinking that you probably were at least as well, if not better connected than me.. going more or less by our forum registration dates....

In any event, I am pretty sure that publishing our concerns on this thread is probably somewhat helpful because I would imagine anyone who might know someone who knows someone would be participating or at least reading this thread.
