    Default Missing Member

    Austech member, Thala Dan, has not been heard of for many weeks now.

    I remember, that in this section, one Austech member stated that he lived near to Thala Dan and another member said that he would attempt to find Thala Dan's contact information and make inquiries. These members know who they are.

    I have seen no updates posted regarding Thala Dan's disappearance.

    Does nobody care about a missing member or are we all too busy with other things.

    People are important! Nothing is more important than another human being.

    If anybody knows anything about this missing member, please advise the rest of us.

    It's really very simple and boils down to only four very basic questions...

    Is he dead?

    Is he alive?

    You don't know?

    You don't care?

    Of course we care, OB started a thread about him, however if we don't know his real Name or his address, how do we find him.
    Here is the thread,

    I notice many members drop out from time to time, however I can only repeat the above.
    Maybe some just got bored with the forum & moved on.

    hasn't checked in for quite some time either.
    I bought a phone off him, I'll see if I can find the banking details, maybe I have his name & I'll look him up to see if he's OK.

    If you really want to scare yourself just look thru the members list & last time they posted.

    Anyone know him personally?
    I know he only recently got married.
    He did have some health issues.
    It has only been 2 months. Who knows?

    He has had a few breaks from the forum, but I've messaged him to check on his welfare.

    I and others have persued every possible lead for TD. Once you have done that, what is there to do? Certainly not be asked if I care.....

    I know several members that have dropped off the board for a variety of reasons...they usually say goodbye, but not always.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Thanks mtv, I messaged Seymour Butts, via the forum & just found his full name from my purchase, now looking if I have a different email address or contact details.

    Is Thala Dan traceable?

    enf chased up the only contact details we had on file (as per the thread you linked to) but no response.

    It is uncharacteristic of TD, so it's definitely concerning.

    EDIT: I've also messaged SB.

    Thanks for the Url, Tiny.

    I didn't know that was readily available.

    Thanks also for reminding me about Seymour Butts.

    My comments were not directed at you, enf.

    I KNOW that YOU care (as indicated by your comments in our recent exchange of PM's.).

    He wanted to advertise and pay someone to do something which was illegal.
    The request was denied and he hasn't been back since.

    Is TD's name Dan? If anyone knows his full name I can ask friends that live in the same town as his. I have coffee almost weekly there.

    I work on plausible deniability, I don't know any of you.
