   I already welcomed Vincent to the group by posting the following anagrams   
   of his name on Dec 01 2014   
      
   VENT? MANIC COCKY ~   
   VINCENT MAYCOCK.   
      
   VENT? MOCK? A CYNIC ~   
   VINCENT MAYCOCK.   
      
   CONVICT MY NECK? A ~   
   VINCENT MAYCOCK.   
      
   YACK, CONVICT MEN? ~   
   VINCENT MAYCOCK.   
      
   I did not at all find these "tricky" to find, and they are clear and   
   valid, as opposed to your "icky convent cam" crap.
