Wow. Get off the fence and let us know how you really feel. Clearly  
you're entitled to your opinion, and I am to mine, but its a bit  
excessive to try and claim that "Turners not a musician" (sic).

I think that Nik brought a great deal to Hawkwind, and even wrote  
some great songs with them. Its too bad that the idiotic war between  
members past and present has to spill over into the fans.
