Maybe your message of the R1a1a result will induce any others with such
downstream SNP results to also announce them? Then after a sufficient
number of results are known correlations with extended haplotype clusters
may be possible.

Why would you expect your result to be a typo? R1a is quite common in
Sweden.

Is your friend's haplotype in Ysearch with a code number?
