I have some bad news with regard to Phil (polywideblock).
After spending a couple of days searching the web, I found (with some help from CarNut) a relative, which led me to an area, and finally one of Phil's daughters.
I have just been in contact with Phil's daughter a few minutes ago, and she gave me some
information on why Phil has been missing from all sites he belongs to.
Phil has been in hospital since the time he was last on site, and is seriously ill. He is likely to be in hospital, and out of action for quite some time to come. He has been made aware of the fact that we are all worried about his well being, and appreciates the concern. Phil is a very private man and so all I can say is that he is in good hands, and he will return some day soon.
Please, if you care to pray for Phil's well being and return to good health....do so.
His email's are not being cleared or monitored, so sending PM's will go nowhere for a while.
I will update with anything else as it comes to hand. So please join with me in wishing Phil a smooth, steady and speedy recovery.
