Ok, I don't want to be a hard nose, but I also don't want to seem like I'm letting something slide that shouldn't... I know commercial posts are forbidden on the boards, and I also don't allow them on the list, but would you allow this post since the donations being accepted are for a DNA study? Or is this crossing the line? Joanne is a subscriber to the list as well as a posting member on the board, and a member of the dna specific list hosted elsewhere, so I do know her and know her intentions aren't dishonorable, but I don't want to allow this if it means that she's breaking the AUP nor do I want to seem like any other commercial posts will be tolerated...

We have the person we need more funds. I would appreciate you contacting me with any amount you can donate. Several of us feel it is important to have this DNA testing to help our line of Calverts. If this male Calvert's DNA proves to be in the John Calvert 1689 line we have a new group of Calverts to add to our Calvert history. Thank you, Joanne Crawford Ikeda j.ikeda@comcast.net Thanks! _Christi
