I agree with Bob's outlook. It is human nature for the admin to become upset when the person joining takes advantage of the project to solely gain a tiny discount. Some admins more than others. But it's only a tiny discount after all, not worth getting upset about. People will be people (which often is not saying much). And I'm going back immediately to my largely ignored Ancestry.com sub-project and post that if you are not tested OR don't provide a pedigree you WILL be removed from membership in the project.

BUT until the system is fixed to enabled life to return to normal you are all finding reasons why not to use a facility that is available to you. I have used it in my project, and without any recriminations from the participant. It is a matter of not what you do but how you do it. I would rather have a doubtful member join until data is available to sort out where they belong and help them by guiding them to where they should go and x them from your project where they do not belong Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Gale Matthiesen" <DianaGM@dgmweb.net> To: <y-dna-projects@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2010 11:32 AM Subject: Re: [Y-DNA-projects] Y-DNA-PROJECTS join authorization >I agree that it's unlikely the project admin would remove someone, but the >x is > there to allow the *member* to leave if they want. > > Test subjects are allowed to leave any project they want at any time they > want, > except if they joined at the group price, in which case, they cannot leave > all
