Like it or not, people project an official Hawkwind Internet presence
onto the postings you make ("official announcements" and the likes).
As such, a fusilade of condescension and belittlement from you casts a
bad reflection on Hawkwind, whom you indirectly represent.  It's just
not a very professional way to conduct business, IMHO.

The next time you choose to insult the fanbase, please be so kind as
to do it off-list.

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: As for the lyrics, why state on the site it is "the only complete
database of Hawkwind lyrics" when you know a priori this is not true?
I wasted time hunting all over the site for "Right to Decide," because
I figured it must be there *somewhere* if the lyrics collection is
*complete*.  Thanks a bundle...
