I agree that Andreas had a valid question. I have learned a great deal about
how DNA will be used in genealogy and the question reflected another aspect
to be considered. But even if it were not a question agreeable to some, why
can't all listers that should know better be civil and declare a truce, be
complete ladies and gentlemen. Everyone has their own take on a subject and
we ought to be able to offer comments or rebuttals without becoming
personal.
