DNA testing warning

It might be worthwhile being absolutely sure about whether you want to use Ancestry's DNA testing service:

and presumably the same is true of any genealogy website offering DNA testing as part of their service.

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
