The people who give their name as contact for the BUF address list do so for the Ultimate playing communities benefit. Concerns were raised about giving out personal details to anyone who chose to buy Ultimatum especially since most of the address name and individual and their contact details including telephone numbers. The editor of Ultimatum has to consider the wishes of those people who have their addresses listed and has a legal responsibility to protect them. Ultimatum gives the BUF official contact address which people may contact and get the latest info on contacts in their area. I think Paul had considered putting a map on the back of Ultimatum with the locations of British Ultimate Teams in order to give potential new players some idea of the extent to which Ultimate is played. I think any potential players are as likely to contact the official BUF number as they would a number in a long contact list (possilbly more likely, especially if they live in an area where the is clearly no Ultimate!).
