Hard to think of a more helpful guy, in so many ways.
I had a look on Sharky last night - he last played here in 2011. Yikes, time flies.
After he left the Sky Poker forum, he came across to "my" forum, where he organised competitions & the like. To this day, every year I go to Vegas, I sell little slices of my Tournament action - usually 1% or 2% to 20 or 30 different friends - & Vince sets up the Spreadsheet & manages it, to keep track of what I have won or lost, & what is due to my investors. He's incredibly well-organised & a spreadsheet genius. There is always a dividend from my Vegas trips, & Vince - who generally takes £100 worth of my action, always donates his return - including his stake - to charity.
He's a stickler for good manners, & unfortunately he took exception to some spectacular rudeness by one particular Member, so he wrote to me & said he would not be posting again. Very sad really.
We still keep in touch by e-Mail, & I occasionally exchange Tweets with him.
One of the nicest men I've ever met in poker.
He came to a SPT or UKPC at DTD once - might have been the day you, Mr Channing & Willie Tann hooked up, I can't quite remember.

He was an interesting & often very good Forum contributor, but as far as I know, has not played on Sky Poker for some years now.
I may be wrong, but I suspect he got badly burned, as did many others, in a nasty financial grim.
