I stand corrected, but it gets crazier...

If I use my join link, the prices offered are $149 for mtDNA and $199 for mtDNAplus. And the reason
I had it in my head that there was no discount is that the last time I looked, when I made up the
pricing table for my web site about four months ago, there was no discount for anything except the
Y-chromosome tests.
