Folks,
Since we seem to have morphed off into anthropology, genealogy, sulking,
skulking, and Rosie
resigning from the list again, and heaven only knows what else to
follow, here's an item of

subject. It's interesting,

Oh, c'mon Rosie. This is hardly the first time for this scenario, so how about if we all just cut to the now-familiar chase: everyone (including me) pleads with you to stay, and you do. Less bandwidth. OK?

relatedness of their DNA, you will find they're about 13th
