Generally, leaving a message on one of a user's pages (such as here) is a pretty unreliable way to get in touch with that user; unless the user has notifications turned on for that article (and that's not the default), the user won't get any notice of the comment except by checking the page or seeing it in Recent Activity. A better way to talk to someone is leaving a message on a user's Message Wall (like this one); a user with a new message gets a notification up in the bell icon in the upper right, and I think the default is still to e-mail users about new Message Wall messages too—at least, I get e-mails when I get new messages or replies to messages.

In your particular case, General Ralos's Message Wall is here.
