HW: Mission Control Website

[The Rocker]

Here's a thought.  Do what I do.  Don't go anywhere near Mission COntrol if
you don't like it.  I happen to dislike it, so I don't visit it.  My only
gripe is that HW/Rik should post news to the newsgroups rather than
saying "go to Mission Control".

Fortunately, more open minded people do.
