Yes, I've shed "the odd tear" over the very unhappy fate of a relative about whom I had done extensive research and felt I had really got to know and thought of as one of my quite close family. That's vastly different to emoting extravagantly over someone that some researcher has found and just told you about a few hours before. -- Jenny M Benson
