I got an email saying we had a new testee on the DNA log so I went to check it out. I'm not sure I recognize who the "new guy" even is because I never saw the full list before..or maybe just wasn't smart enough to go get it. (I didn't need a password or anything this time..just clicked on the link). I'm guessing the new guy might be Vern Poythress who is a name I have not seen there before..the fellow who has written a shelf-full of theology books (of which I have only picked up enough on the net to know I'm 100% in agreement with the guy, my shortage of credentials on matters metaphysical notwithstanding). Did you get the same message? Since you haven't said anything I was sort of suspecting that since you yourself were naturally not a "participant" you might not have been on the mailing list to get what for them is likely a routine notice. If you don't have it I'll forward it to you. Since all of the participants have said with vigor that they had absolutely no "privacy" concerns in the matter of these tests would you like to send it to the board with summary observations that you're qualified to make and probably nobody else is?

Maynard, we are still awaiting more than just the initial "12" marker results, so I'll pass on discussing it further for now, especially since I'm swapped on family elder-care stuff anyway at the moment <g> Yes, as Group Administrator of the Poythress-Surname Y-DNA Project, I do get the messages, so I don't need you to forward me a copy. Back to work now; hope to get caught up with all the P-List stuff eventually. It has been great to see the stuff Julie posted, though I still haven't had time to digest it all. BPN
