My concern is, without a name & organization, we may end up harvesting them,
under a different e-mail address, somewhere else, and sending them duplicate
e-mails.   Or sending their agency duplicate e-mails; news services tend to
take a dim view of sending e-mails to every one of their reporters, even when
it's not your fault.
