I don't recall if Zack's Paleontological Web Server (http://141.211.110.60/
or http://cope.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/)
is listed on the PaleoNet Pages, but Zack's offers a searchable and 
browsable e-mail directory of vertebrate paleontologists, "largely
derived from the mailing list of the VRTPALEO listserver." There's also
provision for updating the list if you or someone you know has been left out.
The directory itself is http://cope.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/vpmail/

Zack's is mirrored, incidentally, in Australia at
http://www.magna.com.au/cgi-bin/ssis/~ginster/zacks/index.html

I hope y'all find this useful.
