Jeffrey, Your attitude puzzles me. From whom should the answers come? The
hobbyists who have knowledge about specific haplogroups were not born with
it: they invested time in acquiring it. People can't answer questions for
which they do not have the answers. Everyone is free to master a haplogroup
if they are interested in it. If you are refering to the testing labs ---
that they should answer --- then I tell you I rarely get informative answers
from them about a major haplogroup like I1a. The most information I get on
this List is from other amateurs who have bothered to master one piece of
the field or another.

chatter about any HGs exempt R1a or R1b. This is understandable since E3b
makes up around 2% of FTDNA database, however I have read posts from
confused surname administrators seeking answers for their equally confused
participants; no reply.

groups are about all participants with the sponsored surname then those
administrators and participants questions should be addressed.
