I believe that's true, and probably ancestry.com did pick up some business, it wouldn't surprise me. After all they made the business decision to repeat. But the DNA research is an additional separate hobby which is not only complicated but expensive. The project part of it is another component, simple on the face of it but can be more complicated. I'm not surprised that there is not an immediate pick-up in the projects. That may however be a spillover effect in the future once people get more deeply involved.
