HW: Mission Control Website

[rich.warren]

I seem to be a member of the fanbase, and hmm...let me see I'm not insulted.
I've also been a member of this list as long , if not longer than most. And
whilst topics often come up repeatedly, this one has come up far too much.

Frankly it's boring most of us sh*tless.

Leave it, and get back to some real discussion.

It's up to the band to do things they wish to do them, they've chosen Rik,
let him get on with it.  If you want to criticise, do so constructively and
offlist, directly to Rik.

Thanks

Rich W
