Paul,
Using a very handy piece of Win98 software called Ostrosoft Internet Tools
(http://www.ostrosoft.com/ostronet.html) I found the record for
learn.simplenet.com at whois.arin.net reads as follows:
Simple Network Communications, Inc. (NETBLK-SIMPLENET97)

You might try the administrative contacts for that domain listed in
the WHOIS services.
For a lookup of the registry information by domain name:
http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?STRING=simplenet.com
For a lookup of the registry information by IP address block:
http://www.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=209.132.37.153
The two kinds of lookup don't yield the same contact information.
The WritersWorkshop website seems to be part of the 'St. John School
Knowledge Network':
http://learn.simplenet.com/stjohn/
but there isn't much information about it, either. A generic name
like St. John School will be hard to track down.
Have you tried 'webmaster@learn.simplenet.com' or
'webmaster@simplenet.com'? Might be more direct than postmaster.
Good luck.

Paul and others in similar situations might have to resort to a mass
mailing of the sponsors of a site. The sponsors (assuming their record
keeping and knowledge management are impecable) may be able to get a
message through to the operator/pirate:
http://learn.simplenet.com/writersworkshop/sponsor_frame.html
However, since simplenet.com is now part of yahoo, the adoptive parent may
be of some assistance in disciplining the child. Yahoo claims to "respect
the intellectual property of others".
They do offer contact info if your copyyright has been infringed :
