General rule of thumb that works well is if the topic is not of interest, skip the message. There is no way on a general list like this every message posted will appeal to everyone. We should all be accommodating to each others needs in what gets posted to this list. I hope everyone can agree with that as this list has been very accommodating to everyone so far. For specific details on DNA testing the Genealogy-DNA list is a good option. There was a problem a while back on the Genealogy-DNA list where some people felt bored when new people posted questions the more veteran participants found basic, but that has been worked out after much wrangling (same rule, choose what you read, don't complain about what is posted unless it is really off base, and then complain to the list Admin, not to the list). Now every question posted will be answered by one or more people. If the answer would not be of interest to the whole list, then it will likely be answered off list. Anyone wishing information on DNA testing may e-mail me anytime. It is likely people will not remember who I am or who Don or other people familiar with DNA are so I certainly hope those people may continue to post their questions to this list so they can get what they need. Best advise to anyone before posting a general question to the list is to search the archives first, but that is not always an option or preference for everyone. Hoping everyone finds what they are looking for, John Carr On Aug 15, 2006, at 1:36 PM, ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 09:40:16 -0600 > From: Don Renninger > Subject: Re: ROOTS-L Digest V06 #352 > > I agree DNA studies could have effect on tracing ancestors, but this is > NOT the thrust of this page.
