Maybe my joking reply to Gene is warranted here in seriousness,
because it does work as long as you're "nice" about it.

"Oh ye of little faith in cyber-bullying. ;-)"

I work with people all over the world. If I can't get the info I need
(and vice versa) usually a very gentle nudge is sent in e-mail to them
with their boss or project manager cc'd. That gets me results nearly
all the time where other tactics might fail (no everyone is chummy or
buys into the reciprocity of "back scratching").
