I know longer have his E-Mail or mobile number I'm afraid.

Well his mobile number is listed all over the place, but it's not your responsibility to sort it out.

I'd personally try PM'ing him through the forum he does seem active on, and if that is met with silence then I'm afraid you all have your answer.

Phil Miller is back:   http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,53098.0.html

Very glad to hear this has worked out positively (you were right, Greeners).

He says he wants the collected monies to go to the Forum Fund.

To all the doubters, innocent BEFORE proven guilty.

My doubt was less of the fact Phil may or may not be injured (or exist) and more the fact it was taking AGES to sort out.

I was actually the one who messaged him on the other forum and low and behold less than 12 hrs later its all solved.

This to me raises other questions... but its done now and I think we have probably all learnt a lesson.

I really don't understand your comments at all?

So if Phil, in your mind, didn't exist. What did you think exactly? A conspiracy to raise money by the Moderators?

And what other questions does it raise then?

And what lesson have I, Greeners and RR learned then?

In fact I now find your comments and original post quite offensive, god help any of us if we get ill, have an accident etc etc and we don't come on here for a while to thank the well wishers.

I am truly humbled by the kindness, generosity in tough financial times, and general commerardery on this great yes great forum.

I see Phil is too, which is all that matters does it not?

Maybe this tread should now be locked by the Moderators as its all done and dusted.

We knew that Phil existed.
We knew that Phil had had and accident.

What puzzled me was his lack of urgency to say thanks to the more than generous people of this forum for having a whip around for his benefit. (especially now, as we know that he knew about the thread for some time)

Yes I am moving on from this before I get even more agitated.

I think he explained himself perfectly in his thread he created.

I see the 1st post has been edited too.

End of for me, I would do this again for the record even though the Mods probably won't want to. I hope they don't think like that as it is great humanity.

The question it raised to me was how was I able to get in touch so quickly when others weren't. That was all.

End of the day its done now.

As for lessons learnt... ok maybe I was being to general with my statement... lets narrow it down to MY lesson learnt which is... If im going to be quite picky with when and where my money goes then perhaps I shouldn't donate to someone I dont know via a forum moderater who again, I dont know.

^^^ Then this forum doesn't want your money and it will be refunding you.

Edit - £5 refunded on Transaction ID 92846655193069433.

If anyone wants feels they have "learnt a lesson" and wants a refund then please let me know, because I am not going to stand by while I or this site is criticised for trying to do some good. Likewise this isn't fair on Phil as he has explained everything now and clearly has had a lot going on in his life.

....I think that's a bit harsh, Steve. However, a refund may be what jedi-knight prefers anyway.

If it wasn't for jedi-knight's direct approach to 'Phil Miller' (in fact, unknown to us via his brother) on the other GTI forum, Phil might still have not overcome his difficulty in posting here to explain and update us all. He seems to have succeeded in contacting Phil when others didn't.

I think that some folks (including myself) pointed out Phil's active presence on the other forum here in an attempt to spur Admin/Moz/Phil's friends into contacting him - I, for one, didn't want to step on your toes in your efforts to make contact but thought of doing what jedi-knight did on several occasions - The phone number was made public for all to see.

I don't see how anyone is criticising this site for trying to do some good - Jedi-knight is simply openly expressing his views.

EDIT: Anyway, what matters most of course is that we all now know that Phil is well and any speculation is ended  :happy2:
