He was one of the very first people to start communicating about gtfc in the very early days of mass participation internet. predating myself (It was the Wild West then, no Google, no Facebook, no Youtube; no mobiles or tablets, just email, chat rooms and Usenet, all on Dial-Up Networking and IE4/Netscape). I don't think I ever met him in the flesh but his enthusiasm undoubtedly played a part in kindling my own interest in using this Internet "thing" to spread the gtfc word. A sad loss.

With his loss we lose one of the forum’s more “colourful” and controversial characters and thus the forum will be poorer without his criticisms of our current performances and management but PH may sleep a little easier. Condolences to the family and RIP Swin.

I met him several times over the years and struck up a good friendship with him. He often sent me private messages of support and kindness, aside of posting on this forum pearls of wisdom, leaving many a scar. Will miss his dry sense of humour, and what was so often an insightful alternative view. Rest in Peace my friend. Kindest Regards JSF
