Hello Jon,

Dr. Levy is real. Ellen Coffman is real.

And she's not trying to promote a book on a list where such promotions
are prohibited.

She is a professional Anthropologist. Again, she is a professional
engaged in genetic genealogy. Unlike you.

You are simply a self-promoter attempting to sell your latest book.

Most everybody on the list has figured this out..., so to speak.

Very extremely sincerely,

Dale E. Reddick, M.Sc.

JIM - PLEASE - this guy is simply working up a list by which he can
insult list contributors while promoting his book. Please, oh please -
remove this non-contributing irritant from the list!!!
