Seriously? What types of genetically caused idiosyncrasies have you found. In any case, I was adopted; so I don't know for sure. The nuns told my parents that I was of Scotch-Irish & German heritage. So, the answer's probably no. But you never know! Of course, some Celts and Teutons resisted the Romans with significant enthusiasm. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
