[Linux4christians] Beer

[Archbishop Abba Anthony]

Timothy,

Let me clarify, I have no intentions of leaving, I am just so accustom to 
being asked to leave and being thrown out of groups that I have grown to 
expect it. :) I will actually remain until that does happen. Loyal to a 
fault :)

In His Service,

+Anthony
