What is pretty sad is that people like you are telling people like me to post it for your convenience.
We do have other responsibilities that you are unaware of and posting the gedcom isn't at the top of the list for me. This would be an ideal world if we all had the time to post them at your timing for your convenience so that you could be more calm. But, this isn't an ideal world. Be glad that the 68 people that you refer to in this email got tested and gave you an opportunity to vent over ??? Perhaps a new vent might be to worry about everyone on this list that hasn't been tested. Now, wouldn't that be sad? Take a deep breath and know that gedcoms will be coming. I will post mine when I am ready. No sooner and no later.

Of that 171 only 68(40%) people have uploaded a gedcom. That's pretty sad that if you take the time to submit a sample that you can't take the time to submit a gedcom.
