A missing friend

[JohnW2]

People just move on and move away. Life changes etc....he be fine...

Yes, that happens. The longer EFLI and Harry remain 'missing', the more we will come to 'assume the worst' but, in general, such 'conclusions' are not always going to be correct.

In my time, when a forum/whatever has become too unpleasant/ridiculous/whatever, I have simply 'walked away', with no comment or warning, never to be seen in the place ever again - and those there might well 'think the worst'.

However, having said that, I don't think there is any reason (in fact, quite the contrary) to think that either EFLI or Harry would have had any reason to do that - i.e. I would think it extremely unlikely that either of them would just 'walk away' with no comment, explanation or 'warning'.

We can only hope for the best outcome - lads if you are there come out let us know please - your forum needs you.

Indeed. However,unfortunately, I don't think your pleas for them to 'let us know' are going to achieve anything. I thik we have to assume, in both cases, that their failure to respond to forum discussions, DMs and e-mails means either that they have not seen any of that and/or that, for whatever reason, they have not been able to respond.

Yep, I know EFLI's real name, as well as his e-mail address, but extensive online searches have found nothing relevant. I assume that the name Harry is using is probably 'real', so have also searched for that - but again without any success.

Conny is another name that hasn't been seen for a while.

I think Conny passed away, I mentioned him on another thread a while ago, and I’m sure someone confirmed it.

Edit, yes he did: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/on-line-gambling.589879/page-5#post-6157208

Oh dear. How certain are we that this is 'our' Harry, I wonder ?

I suppose that 'about a month ago'would fit. We last heard from him on 8th May, when he reported that he had survived his surgery on the previous day. I have to say that if he succumbed soon after that, I would have to wonder whether it was perhaps 'coincidental' that he had just undergone surgery - since my understanding was that it was only relatively 'minor' ('keyhole') surgery, which one wouldn't expect to carry an appreciable risk of a rapidly fatal outcome.
