[Wolves] The LUGMaster christmas message

[david]

Should loyal subjects bow before you now?

"I wanted to create a place where people who were like minded could
meet and discuss Linux."
In all it's purple veined swinging hugeness.

Well I won't say Happy Christmas because this time of year has nothing to do with Christ, neither His birth nor His message.
God bless you all. May the next year bring you more peace, love and truth than the last.
