My point and position is the following...
It is a general rule online to
not post your physical home address and/or phone number. This is for, among other reasons, to prevent the possibility identity theft, stalking, etc, which is something that does in fact happen not infrequently online. Remember that there are thousands of people viewing these forums who may never even post or introduce themselves. Sure, the intentions of those in this thread are good, but we just don't know who all is reading the forum or how they might use that information.
For others to look up another forum member's address and post it, is even worse, especially if that member seems to not check the forum anymore, and not have any way of knowing that his or her address has been posted.
The fact is, although we all wish Thomas were here posting, and are curious as to where he is, what he's doing, and if he's ok, it isn't appropriate to post his address and 'track him down'. He has every right to not post here, not respond to e-mails, and not respond to phone messages. If you wish to contact him, and want to talk with others who wish to do the same, then simply do it off the forum, since it isn't appropriate to post that here.
