David, I explained the difference very clearly in my message. It is the
difference between promoting a company in assertions of fact language,
versus qualifications such as "in my opinion...." If the consensus on the
list aligns with your perspective, then I'll just get more assertive in
describing what I view as the advantages of alternative testing companies in
order to create a little more balance on the list.
Ken

the virutues of DNA Heritage. Why are your comments unsullied, and those of
Bill "misuse"? Robert asked for an opinion and he got it from people who
are not connected in any way to the companies noted in the posts.
