    Paul,

    Using a very handy piece of Win98 software called Ostrosoft Internet Tools
    (http://www.ostrosoft.com/ostronet.html) I found the record for
    learn.simplenet.com at whois.arin.net reads as follows:

    Simple Network Communications, Inc. (NETBLK-SIMPLENET97)
         225 Broadway 13th Floor

         San Diego, CA 92101

         Netname: SIMPLENET97
         Netblock: 209.132.0.0 - 209.132.127.255
         Maintainer: SMPL

    (FAX) 619.881.3010

         Domain System inverse mapping provided by:

         NS1.SIMPLENET.NET 209.132.1.21
         NS2.SIMPLENET.NET 209.132.2.21

    You might try the administrative contacts for that domain listed in
    the WHOIS services.

    For a lookup of the registry information by domain name:
        http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=simplenet.com

    For a lookup of the registry information by IP address block:
        http://www.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=209.132.37.153

    The two kinds of lookup don't yield the same contact information.

    The WritersWorkshop website seems to be part of the 'St. John School
    Knowledge Network':

        http://learn.simplenet.com/stjohn/

    but there isn't much information about it, either. A generic name
    like St. John School will be hard to track down.

    Have you tried 'webmaster@learn.simplenet.com' or
    'webmaster@simplenet.com'? Might be more direct than postmaster.

    Good luck.

    Paul and others in similar situations might have to resort to a mass
    mailing of the sponsors of a site. The sponsors (assuming their record
    keeping and knowledge management are impecable) may be able to get a
    message through to the operator/pirate:

    http://learn.simplenet.com/writersworkshop/sponsor_frame.html

    However, since simplenet.com is now part of yahoo, the adoptive parent may
    be of some assistance in disciplining the child. Yahoo claims to "respect
    the intellectual property of others".

    They do offer contact info if your copyyright has been infringed :
