Re: [Killietalk] no eggs from australes

["wusong" <wusong at drunkenbastards_com>]

Something like that with striatum (of all things!) has made me say the heck with killies for a while.  Well, except for my normanis, which continue to breed like rats.  Just the way it goes sometimes, I guess.  I hate to hear that you're having trouble, Lee, but at least it makes me feel like not such an incredible loser!  ;-)
