HW: Mission Control Website

[Richard Lockwood]

Erm, I'm *not* a raging Nik fan.  This was meant to be a light hearted
aside.  Sorry - I should have put a smiley after it.  My fault.

My point about the Mission Control website holds though - yes, Hawkwind have
a perfect right to the hawkwind.com domain name, of course they do.  I'm
annoyed about the way Andy (the original owner) was treated - he ran the
original "official" site  (see archives) - which was simple, informative and
easy to use.  Unlike the Mission Control site.

Cheers,

Rich.
