Lauren:
Thank you for your detailed instructions on how to view the results. I'm
one of the volunteers who logs on the DNA results, converts it to Excell and
forwards the file on to Mr. Hansen with a copy to each participant. This
lets the participant know we've made it that far and secures the approval
from them to post their results on the comparisons Mr. Hansen posts
regularly. Until John can speak for himself, I was feverishly logging on
the various results through 23 December so John could get it analyzed and an
update posted.

May I ask anyone seeing this to please send me a copy at ()
of their results, if they wish to participate in the "group" analysis. It
saves me a good deal of time going into the test sight data base and trying
to figure out whom I've posted and whom I have not. We're all learning as
we go on this project - and I'm convinced it's well worth the effort to hang
in there! If we discover this procedure causes more confusion than it
helps, you'll be hearing from me to correct it.
Thanks again for your time/efforts in keeping this project alive-
Marsha Drummond Smith
