I suspect that 23andme is trying to separate people who seldom or never sign-in and people who actively use the site. I think they want to move active customers to having their names shown.

There's a banner across (at least some of the accounts) the announcement that Anonymous and nicknamed accounts will be deleted from DNA Relatives list as of 11/11. I wrote on my wife's account: Why delete the Invites? Just add an addendum to the Invites "In order to accept this Invite, you will need to make your profile visible to All [whatever the actual name is]. Hmm what are they doing for the people who are Anonymous who have accepted some Invites but not others. I cannot imagine any rationale which would explain deleting Anonymous matches from some but not all DNA Relatives (and I've read through the explanation.) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENEALOGY-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
