Fw: Hawkwind

[BL Young]

Hey, check this out -- I bid on a Hawkwind video ("Night of the Hawks" --
ebay Item #1418898350) on ebay, and a couple days later I got this email
from another person completely.  The auction hasn't closed yet, and I've
been outbid so I'm glad I got this warning before I went back to rebid...

Take it for what it's worth, as I can't verify the accuracy of the
statements below.  Sounds scary, though, as I certainly don't condone the
sale of non-official Hawkwind items.
