good stuff here!!!

Think on this a little. So many times we jump the gun thinking we are smart. So possible we have had 30+ years of bad contemporary groupings and using these to produce EPDs.

Epigentics and the "turning on and off" of gene expressions is huge and still very little understood.

Glenn,
Not sure I agree with Moser about splitting contemporary groups. That would greatly reduce the size of resultant groups. However the effect of epigenetics is very real and can be passed on for several generations (at least in humans).
