Heh!   the memes spread...

Actually this ques should be an FAQ by way of explanation.   It's all
Steve Swann's fault (original founding moderator of this list).   He
wanted a list to discuss BOC away from the normal gossip of the alt.
boards and included Hawkwind 'cos he liked them as well and also 'cos
BOC sometimes ran out of discussion topics!   Very quickly however the
Hawkwind element grew in number to merit joint status.    There were
many discussions about separating the two lists but too many people
posted or read both to make it worthwhile so the current compromise
holds where you can filter out anything prefixed BOC: or HW:
