It's not that I'm opposed to RO, I just am not in a position to run a lot of
plumbing and set up a good processing facility in my current digs.  Once I buy
a house, and trade my lease for a mortgage, that will be a top priority.
Meanwhile I fight with it.  I'm getting spawns from my panduros and my
cacatuoides anyway, just not as consistently as I think I should.

Thanks, Dave.
