I totally agree with the sentiments expressed.

I had only got to the end of the first article before I was interrupted (big
sigh!). However, I was very impressed by the spark of imagination regarding
bringing researchers and DNA tested members of our own group together to
collaborate on future projects - a wholly inspired and practical idea!

Thank you for providing the genetic genealogical community with a focus and
a "voice".

(Now back to reading the rest of it before the next interruption!).

John Eckersley.

certainly not in such concentration. It never ceases to amaze me as to what
List members will come up with. This is guaranteed winner! This
publication has been badly needed for some time since there is really no
other academic forum where we could disseminate knowledge of the research
tools we have designed, our various study findings, and so on. I predict
that this will make the academic community sit bolt upright (especially when
they see the academic credentials of the Board Members), see what we are
doing, and realize that people on this List are way ahead of the academic
pack in cutting edge research.
