So if there is no contact given in the description of this competition, using the forum is the only way to get in touch with the competitions' hosts. Secondly, I asked the Kaggle support if they could help me with my request and their own advise was to use the competition forums. So no, this thread is not \"insincere\", it is the proper way to get in contact with people related to that competition.</p>",
