Is it too much to ask?
My boss asked me to find the contact information for an alumnus. I went to our alumni directory and found the that they guy works here in the Boston area. I have the company name.

I even found the company website.

Do you think that I could get the address from the website? Hell no.

5. An astonishingly common bit of poor website design...
I see SO many corporate websites that make you dig for a simple piece of information such as a phone number or address, or worse (I suspect the one you described is like this), have a "contact" page that consists only of a form to fill out and send to them.

No phone number.
No address.
Not even an email address.

Just a form.

Argh! (This is a pet peeve of mine.)

6. I can't really blame people for using a contact page nowadays

It will at least keep the email account clean.
