Dear Marcie,
having had such a surprising result, I don't think that in this case
you would object to have your great experience made known to
the list. It just may encourage more participation, You never know
who else is 'lurking' in the background with more information.

My congratulations to you and your 'new cousin',
and my best wishes
John Merz
