[Serusers] Whiskey & Beer for SNMP module

[Thomas Nilsen]

If a a few others including you would also gave a bottle or two, in the end
it might be a reasonable price for a job like this.. In Norway we call it "å
bidra", in English terms I think the apropirate term is "to contribute"..
Ring any bells? :)
