Gud luck > _______________________________________________ > tor-talk mailing list > tor-talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk I want to join a channel on irc.gimp.org by whatever means works, using Tor or not. Further investigation has gotten me to the point that I should somehow e-mail the administrator of irc.gimp.org and ask him/her about alternatives. However, I have not been able to find his/her e-mail address. It is not available on the gimp.org website. Is there a way to use whois or some means to get that information?
