I'll miss you guys, too - this frontier is changing quickly, and I wish I could make. At 22andMe not everyone is included - only those who accept invitations to reveal themselves, specific requests to share segment info and/or opted-in by taking a survey. Fortunately most folks interested in genealogy do these and we can share segment info. Similarly at GEDmatch, the participants opt-in for sharing info. FTDNA should at least give us this option.

I am now at about 450 segments covering all of both sets of chromosomes.
