There were 26 Germans aboard that flight. Could he have been one of
them?

You know his name?

I think it's more than odd that he disappeared from SCB just a day before
the AF-447 crash. Topolski's last post here was on May 30th. The flight took
off from Rio on May 31st.

Is it vacation time in Brazil?
Another possibility is that he had friends or relatives on that flight and
is now too depressed to participate in our meaningless exchange of niceties.
He has mentioned before that he is not interested in conversation
unless it is an argument, yet his arguments weren't intersting to
follow. He is probably busy having a fruitful argument somewhere else
with like-minded "argumentors" under a different nick.

how old is he? perhaps some health problems have kept him offline.
Judging from his posts, I'd say he's around 35, +/- 5 years. I would judge
the likelihood that we lost him in that AF disaster to be clearly more than
50%.
Last year wasn't particularly exciting in this group.
I think it gradually dropped off when Stinky Pete (Brookski) left.
The groups I read now are alt.politics and uk.politics.misc.
He wasn't getting any replies lately, maybe that's why he
isn't posting here any more.
Did he say he was going there? - I doubt it.
His last post was one day before the flight took off. Until then he had been
posting on a more or less daily basis for years.
His name wasn't on the list of victims. Here is the passanger list:

I won't reveal the guy's name. But you can see from the list there is
only one Russian name, which represents one Russian citizen on that
flight. Mir is a German national of Russian descent who has a Russian
name.

Good to be reassured. Thanks.
VM.
I would still be worried - there are a lot of ways to get hurt in
Brazil other than on an outgoing Air France flight....

Well, as I know from my friend who works closely with Brazil group and
spends there a lot of time every year - that Academia/University
campuses are as safe there as everywhere.
VM.
The list is not complete. There were actually 28 Germans on the flight.
When that list was published, the assumed number of German victims was
still 26. Besides, your list has only 204 names. The total number of
victims was 228.
Lets' hope that he is ok and that he simply got bored.
Mama has left for alt.politics btw.

his writing style was quite different from the other germans that i
encounter. i always assumed that he was polish but had moved to germany.
yep, i created an entirely imaginary world for our friend.
my "dj" buddy spent a couple years there. he witnessed a gun battle on the
street one day from the window of a bus that he was riding on.

brookski never posted to SCB. sometimes he would show up here in crossposts
but that was about it.
Nah..
KGB agents dressed as grass-skirted amazonian head hunters finally
caught up with him.
It is maybe my particular view but I think his style is not affected by
ethnic but rather the special way of thinking due to his profession.
