finger

Software utility that retrieves information about a user from another computer, perhaps across the Internet. Fingering an e-mail address may, where permitted, reveal the user's real name and any other details stored in a profile or resumé, such as company, position, or telephone number.

There's a point to civility, of course, and I know this because I lived for many years in a land untouched by etiquette in any form--not New York, New York, as you may imagine, but Long Island, New York, where one is considered remiss for failing to give the finger to any motorist one happens to pass.
The Civility Glut by Ehrenreich, Barbara / The Progressive
