My policy as a point of contact for electronic inquiries has always
been to refer the inquiry to the person who is the subject of the
inquiry.

That is, rather than replying to your request for Joe Blow's email
address, I will forward your request to Joe and let him decide what
to do with it.  Blame Joe for not responding, not me.

If you don't like this arrangement, pick up the telephone and call Joe.
