@ All:
I am getting concerned about Hans. I am sure most of you on here know who he is. I have not seen or heard from him in over three weeks. I figured maybe he had access problems like the rest of us and can not get on so I have e-mailed him and still no reply. I didn't know if any of our other Australian members knew another way to get in touch with him. He, like me, lives alone and if something had happened to him, we would never know. Thank you.
Bill
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he is on holiday?
May be he has found life beyond OU?!
a view days ago i wrote a pn to him,but till now was no response
Does anyone has his telefon Number?
I would like to call him.

So do i .
We could install a virtual member on the board and send message via pn to this member.
Just like news headlines : exmpl.:"I go to Hospital vor 2 weeks"
Every member of the message-company can log in and read the pn of the message buddy.
Since long time PYRAMAN is missed .
I realy think,that he had been visited by sectret service,
becouse he wrote,that he had received a letter from lebanon.
Thank you all for your responses. Yes, I agree that we should have a way for someone to contact people in the event of an illness or accident. As I said, I live alone and if I was killed in a car wreck, no one knows enough to go on OU.com and post a message. I guess we will wait and see. Thank you all again.
Bill
@ Helmut
I left a private message with Hans' tel. no.. Check you inbox.

If some members , hold also contact by

I do not have any PI contacts in Australia as of yet, but I am still looking around in some of the organizations I belong to. I was hoping to find someone near Hans who could call to check on him. I'll keep looking.
Bill
@ all
Gee...I've written to Hans a few months ago via PM. After reading this topic I've spent a little time and eventually located his address and phone number. (28 kms away)
I could give him a call tomorrow. ???

Coming from a person who blames everything on a Jewish conspiracy, I suppose it is to be expected that you fear the worst. Do you think those evil Zionists did it?
And please, "admonished?" Hans is a free person living in a free country. He can come and go as he pleases. Who are you to admonish anyone?
Nambla Clause may be at work but hopefully we will see hans back here soon. If your religious or not , try to keep a happy thought present about him. Always helps folks in a time of need. ;)

out of respect to the great tech hans and for this thread to be about his welfare
ill meet you on the GOVERNMENT thread if you wish
Sevich:
Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. I was going to try to call but my cell provider was not sure if I could even call out of the country or not. I only use a cell for calls and my landline has no long distance on it and is used for fax and dsl for the business. I have been told I can use skype but I have tried that before with not good results...it was a waste of money. Please let us know if you find out anything. I am not suggesting stopping by, I would think a phone call should do it. Thank you very much.
@ Others:
Of course Hans is an adult and can come and go from whatever forum he wants with no explanation needed for anyone. That is not the point. The point is that he lives alone and I am concerned for his welfare. I have lost three people this year that I was close to and I just wanted to make sure he was ok, that's all. It's like me, for example, if I died today, not that anyone on here should care, there is no one I know of that would get on my computer and tell any of my contacts about it. Maybe he is on holiday, I hope he is. My private e-mails have gone unanswered which makes me concerned...that's all. To everyone that understands where I am coming from, I thank you. We will wait and see what sevich might be able to turn up. Thank you.

I agree that being concerned about Hans is a good and proper thing. Good luck with your efforts to contact him.
@Pirate
Just a Moment ago i finished the last try to get Hans on the phone.
The bell was on for about a minute,but nobody answerd the call.
Later i will try again.
I think that somebody near his Home can ask a neighbour for information.
(by telephone)
helmut
hi all,
Yes! the same thing is happening. I've phoned him today at 10:00am and just now at 12:30pm..... no luck (phone keeps ringing ??? )
I'll make a call to the nearest hospital in the area to see if he's there ?
SEVICH try the local precinct or police if there was any report of problems Chet
Sevich:
First, thank you for your efforts. I think it was Helmut that suggested contacting one of his neighbors. I don't know if this work in Australia or not but you could check on infospace.com and look for neighbors to Hans's address. It should list their numbers. One of them should know if he is on holiday or if an ambulance were there recently. This is just a suggestion and as I said, I , and many others, appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
Bill
Hello all
Today i did another try to get him on the phone.
But no response. sry.
helmut
To all,
Made a phone call to a hospital in the surrounding area, and asked for info on how I could find a certain individual on a national register of hospitals in the Sydney area. The answer was that I needed to call each one of Sydney's hospitals individually. The second call was a dead end as they placed me with an answering machine asking me to leave my number so as to call me back....aaaaaaFORGET IT !
I've now called his local police station asking if they could stop by his house and check with his neighbors. They'll call me back on my mobile hopfully soon.
BTW not familiar with infospace here regarding this search.
Glad to help !
Thank you sevich
That is a good step forward
helmut
I am getting quite worried by Hans right now. I am not a prolific poster but Hans has been always a good read, and if something bad has happened to him, I think he deserves our help and care.
Regards.
I am getting quite worried by Hans right now. I am not a prolific poster but Hans has been always a good read, and if something bad has happened to him, I think he deserves our help and care.
Regards.
Didn't Hans talk to someone on the board in January (I think) with a discussion on ether (I think) and he mentioned he would see him in Europe for a seminar or something like that. I'm trying to think of who and I think it was when he talked to scotty or scotty1 about Leedskalin.
I think someone should open a thread in the news section called Absence Notifications where you can go and post your absence dates so poeple here don't get all worried, most often for no reason.
Anyways, Hans is a very able and astute person and I am sure he would not find himself in a precarious situation, alone or otherwise, and if he is not here on the board, it's because he's probably having such a good time somewhere else. hehe
@ Wattsup:
Yes, that is exactly why I started this topic. I was hoping that someone might have information of the type you just suggested. I also thought someone might know him locally and could fill us in. I checked all of the posts I could find by him (certainly not all of them) but did not see anything like that but that does not mean anything. I hope he is off to Europe sampling some good beer. We will see what other information comes in. Thanks.
Sevich and Helmut:
I know your efforts are appreciated. Hopefully we will hear what the neighbors might know. As I said above, I hope he is on Holiday. If that turns out to be the case, he will be pissed at me for starting this topic but, he will also know a lot of us care about each other. (He won't be mad long if at all really) Thank you.
Bill
Hi all,
I've just received a phone call that Hans is alive and well (thank God). No other details were given although I was asked numerous questions about my interest in this instance, in which I replied that a forum topic was created due to concerns for his absence (safety)
@ sevich:
That is great news!!!! Excellent job!! I just hope they don't arrest you......ha ha. Thank you very much for your efforts and in case anyone does get mad, you can tell them to contact me. A lot of us were concerned and now, I will have a beer and relax. Thank you to everyone.

@All
First i was happy to hear from Sevich the latest news.
So i did a new Call 8:38 locat Time in Germany,but nobody take the call as usual.
Whatever it is : It is not normal.
If Sevich was questiond deeply about his motivs,might be a normal Process.
But that there are no further Infos was given about him,or, that Hans did not show up
in person here and clarify the Situation does not fit.
He was not in trouble to someone,as i know.
This is not the way ,he would handle this Situation.
I will continue to get him on the Phone by time.I never had any trouble to him.
So,wy schould i not try to speak to him.
@Bill
This evening i will have a Beer to.
cheers

Hi all,
I appreciate the pat on the back but there's really no great effort here, and I'm sure most forum members would make a similar search in his/her area.
I bet he's out of the country and on holiday somewhere :)
@ sevich and Helmut:
Yes, I agree now that he is probably away on holiday and most likely left his emergency contact info with a neighbor who probably contacted him and told him the police were looking for him!!! I'll bet this surprised him a bit. He is most likely wondering what the hell is going on? It makes sense that the police would not say where he was or any other details, that sounds normal to me. They did say he was alive and well and that is the most important thing. Wherever he is, I am sure he is a little confused at this point. I know I would be. But, we have his best interests in mind while doing this and that he will understand....eventually....I hope. (smile)
From a security standpoint, I have to say that even though 99% of the folks on here (members) are good people, it would not be prudent for "guests" to know that someone is going on holiday for x amount of time. As you can see, it is easy enough to locate someone's address these days and it would make it very easy for someone to break in to a residence when they knew the person was away. So, I don't blame anyone for not posting about travel details. Of course, a private e-mail or two to a few friends would be ok to do. Then, if someone were to appear to be missing, those friends could just say to the group, "he is fine and I have been in touch with him". Better security.
Thanks again to all.
Bill

I think Hans will understand
Most of the time a situation would be kind of hard to explain.
In this case it can be explained with just a few words .
We thought he might have got himself suppressed .
gary
I hate the thought of this Bill...but it hasn't escaped my notice that Ming Mei is also on the missing list. :o
Has anybody else noticed that...or am I (and possibly now Bill) just being paranoid ?
It was good news to hear that nothing bad happened to Hans though...at least not yet anyway.
Regards...

@ Helmut:
I think he is fine. He is probably on holiday sitting somewhere drinking a beer and still pondering over why the police were looking for him. I don't mean to but I laugh every time I picture this in my mind. As long as we know he is ok, it really does not matter, nor is it our business, where he is or when he is coming back. I will drink another toast to Hans this evening. I just hope he forgives us.
Bill
@ all
Hans is alive and well
Today I dropped by Hans' house and was directed to a nearby Boating Club where I found him alive and well. We shared a beer and a chat. He had gone bush in the Kimberleys and had just returned and was taking a brake from the net. He seemed to be touched that people on the forum cared and worried for him. He'll be back on the forum soon.
Cheers

I don't blame him for taking a break from this madness

G?day all,
First of all I would like to apologise for having been walkabout for such a long time without notifying anyone. It was only meant to be for about two weeks but it dragged on longer than I anticipated, stretching to almost two months.
Even then I only returned to Sydney to attend a lecture series on Philosophy at Sydney University to which I had committed myself to some months ago.
If I had known what kind of upheaval I was causing at the overunity forum I would have not been so casual about it.
I am really touched by your concern about my absence.
I only now realise that in the past months I have become a member of a family here who genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I feel deeply honoured by your response and am genuinely sorry to have caused so much worry amongst people I have a lot of respect and affection for.
In the coming days, as my schedule permits, I will sort through two months worth of E-mails and answer any personal mail I have received during that time.
In the meantime, please accept my apology.
Hans von Lieven
cool welcome back Hans!
glad you're back man!
take care.

Welcome back hans. I hope all is good with you and your family.

good to see you Hans . @ Pese yes he answered a message i sent him a few weels ago
@ Pese

It is strange that you think this, yesterday I was going to leave a jokey message along the lines of "hey everybody, Hans has gone again". Its been 6 days now since Hans' last message, I do see your concern. Maybe he is tired of all this and just wants to have some time off

Hmmm, and Ming Mei also seems to be MIA ?
I have also (several times) heard from Ming...she sent me yet another "interesting" photo of herself. I believe she is also fine as well. Now, if we could just find Jimmy Hoffa.

dudes, Hans lives in the land of Oz, there's quite some room to go walkabout there...
... and once you're on a road trip, and half the island continent away, it's
quite easy to keep going for a bit...
I think Hans is fine and just on a bit of an outing somewhere in the outback,
or gone fishing with a bud, or something like that.
come on, seriously, who's gonna kidnap Hans?
The shadow government? ;) NWO? Enron? :D
Besides, it's Australia... the chances of getting bitten by a poisonous snake,
spider, bug, crocodile, dingo, or even getting kicked by a kangaroo
are greater than the chances of him getting abducted, I think... ;)
I just hope the guy is having a good time.
I'm sure he'll be back here before too long.
Hans, they miss you so much they're about to call a nationwide search man! ;D
Yes, I believe Koen1 is correct. I started this topic to see if anyone knew Hans personally or lived near him to check on his health. We have done that. Hans has e-mailed me. He has posted here. He is fine. There is no need to stalk the man. My goal was not to make him come back to this, or any other forum. He will when/if he wants to. I wanted to make sure he was ok and we have done that. Thanks again to all who helped here.

This kind of comment is not the right way to stop search on Hans.
Dont go and blame someone to do a stalk .
Thats just bullshit.
helmut
whoa, no need to get cranky...
I don't think Bill meant anything negative, I think he only wanted
to point out that we don't need to worry about Hans so much...
@ helmut:
What is bullshit? I did NOT blame ANYONE for stalking ANYONE. Read my complete post again! I said "There is no need TO stalk the man." To stalk means TO begin the act of stalking, not that ANYONE was up to this point. Had I said "Quit stalking Has" that would be totally different. That would imply that someone was already in the act of doing so. I realize that English is not your first language so I will take no offense to your comment. My meaning was that, now that we know he is ok, there is no further need to be looking for him. Continued efforts AFTER this point COULD be construed as stalking. Understand? I am suggesting that no one BEGIN to stalk Hans, or perform any act that may be interpreted as doing so. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. You also left out the last part of my post..."Thanks again to all who helped here." In case you did not read that, this would include YOU, and the phone contacts you attempted. Everyone pitched in to help in a genuine concern for Hans and I, as the one that started this topic, and very grateful and appreciative of EVERYONE'S efforts. So again, helmut, I thank you.

Date ? Copy ?
If it was an Email , you can not "hear" it.
If Hans have read now , that we are anry with him.
An he was Excusing to us ...
Than it is not possibel , that HANS go away the 2. time after WITHOUT to
informe us !. He habe not nore logged in.
He have not answered any emails to his friends , also to his german conts.
So, somethings gi wrong with Hans
G.Pese
I dond belive tat anyone have "heared" an email.Have drink an "beer" with hin in freedpm in the last weeks.
pese:
Technically, you are correct. English, as you may know, has some pretty strange and inconsistent rules. Add to that, the continued modification of those rules, and you have one strange language if you ask me. So yes, I did type that I "heard" from Hans. This being the past tense of "hear" which means to receive an audible message, etc. It is also very commonly used to mean a type of informing as in...."Have you heard about the earthquake?" and someone might reply..."Yes, I read about it in the paper." This person was asking if the other was "informed" of the earthquake and the other replied that yes he was because he read about it. These are long accepted usages of this word, but, as I said, technically you are correct but no one over here speaks or writes by the technically correct rules. I'm sure German has similar things going on with the language. Besides, your English is only about 1,000 times better than my German. (I know like 9 words)
Now, to your post. Are you suggesting that since I did not speak with Hans that the e-mail was bogus? What about that fellow (I don't recall his name at the moment) that had a beer with Hans at the yacht club? Is anyone suggesting he was lying? What about the post from Hans? Are you suggesting that someone hacked into his account and logged on as Hans? I am not understanding any of this. Is any of the above possible? Well, sure, I guess it is but taken together as a whole, I would say very, very, unlikely. Of course, you are, as anyone is, entitled to your opinion. Just don't take any personal offense if I do not share it.
I did not see a need to post the e-mail I received from Hans as he has posted here himself. (I believe) Let's just wait and see.
Bill

Not
literally, but
figuratively we "hear" from eachother by email all the time.
Of course we're not really "hearing" emails, we're reading them.
But it's a figure of speech. "I haven't heard from him in a week" doesn't mean you
have not heard the person speak but you did see him walk through town,
it means you haven't seen, heard, smelled, or otherwise had any contact with the
person in the past week.
Bill "heard" from Hans in that way: he didn't actually
hear Hans speak,
but he has had direct e-mail contact with Hans. That's what he says.
This must be some form of language barrier here, and I don't think there
ever really was a problem with that statement. Lost in translation, so to speak. ;)
(again, "speak" in a figurative meaning, as in actuality I am
typing this.)
QuoteIf Hans have read now , that we are anry with him.
What?
Who was angry with Hans? I haven't seen anyone being angry with him... ???
What reason could people have to be angry with him?
I don't understand...
QuoteAn he was Excusing to us ...
Than it is not possibel , that HANS go away the 2. time after WITHOUT to

I don't think you can say that.
Hans clearly said he never meant to stay away as long as he has,
and that he hadn't realised this would cause such a fuss on the forum.
He clearly said he was only back to attend some lecture or conference or something,
which implies that he was planning to go back out to wherever he has been
hanging out after that. Well, if he was only back to attend something he had reserved
for months ago, and was planning to go back right after that,
I can imagine he may have other things on his mind.
Perhaps he was in a hurry to get back to his friend and decided that he'd be
back home before long and would have more than enough time to reply to
everything then.
In any case he apologised for not telling us he was going to be out for a while,
and he also said it was taking longer than expected.
What else is there to know?
Do you want Hans to tell you every detail of his personal life and agenda?
QuoteHe have not answered any emails to his friends , also to his german conts.
So, somethings gi wrong with Hans
or he is just not home.
Have you ever been to Australia?
It's a big place. Visiting a friend half the country away can take weeks,
and if you're going to stay there a while to help out with something
it can easily take longer. I have helped out on a farm in a similar
large open country and I can honestly say that you really don't
think about your email that much when you're working your butt
off raising fences and fixing stuff... So maybe he's just too busy
to bother?
And in the outback most people don't have internet.
No internet access helps in not emailing. ;)
Plus, many people have their habits when it comes to emailing;
I know quite a few people who will not check nor reply to their
email when they don't have access to their own computer, even
if there is a perfectly fine webmail service. Perhaps Hans is one
of those types of people who prefer to mail at their own leisure,
when they feel like it, and especially when they are comfortable
behind their own pc.
Now I have no idea where Hans is exactly nor what he is doing,
and I feel if Hans had wanted us to know he would have told us.
I also feel Bill was sincere in his concern and is honest about
Hans contacting him briefly. Bill is not a bad guy.
If you have any good reasons for suspecting that something is wrong
with Hans, please tell us?
i will belive this,eventually, if he have answered my personally email (in german).
if he logged in to excuse himself
and go with no information again ...
can not true ..
ist mysterious.
We must wait and see
Pese
Nobody have an email.
Nobody have an pic (drinking beer,
with an newspaper in hand)
othe words , will traquilise us , to wait , to forget.

Yes, I believe Koen1 is correct. I started this topic to see if anyone knew Hans personally or lived near him to check on his health. We have done that. Hans has e-mailed me. He has posted here. He is fine. There is no need to stalk the man. My goal was not to make him come back to this, or any other forum. He will when/if he wants to. I wanted to make sure he was ok and we have done that. Thanks again to all who helped here.

Hi Bill
I did mark your words in red,that you can see what causes me to think
that you brought the term "stalk" in to the conversation.
Be shure,that english is not my first language,and i use it in a lousy way.Sorry for that.
But also know that stalking is threatened with punishment in my country.
And yes,i quoted just the part in your post,that i want to discuss.
There was nothing wrong with your post and dont give thanks to me about
the investigation,that we have tried.I did it for Hans.

@ helmut:
In the interest of avoiding any further confusion, I modified the post in question as follows: "There is no need to start stalking the man." Start being the operative word here. I had no idea it could be taken in any other way other than the spirit in which I intended while posting it. But, English is my only language and I forget sometimes that for many on here this is not so.
And yes, stalking is a crime in my country as well. As a licensed Investigator, I deal with it quite a bit. I even have people attempt to stalk me once in a while, but it never works out for them. (Well, at least so far anyway)
Tonight, I will drink a toast once again to Hans, and also, to all those who care about his well being.
