Speaking as a computer ignoramus, it confused the hell out of me and I wouldn't dare try it.
Also, it says to minimise the number of matches you choose, suggesting that you, say, go from 6.3 to 6.6 but am I the only one who can't get those boxes to show the decimal point? It will only take whole numbers.
I wasn't going to bother (mostly because I'd have to go through my own matches as well as those of my 3 brothers) but 'fear of missing out' took over and I started. I now have maroon dots in front of my eyes even though I stopped about 5 minutes ago!
I also started by stupidly calling my new category 'UNKNOWN' which, of course, meant I had to scroll down each time to the bottom of my column of colour coded groups, so I hastily went back in and renamed it ANON so that its near the top!!
Then I made the mistake of scrolling down to see just how many 7.9 matches there were - sorry, as someone once said: 'life's short and then you die'. Unless I get that 'missing out' feeling back, that's it - no more. I've checked mine and my brothers' common ancestor matches under 8.0 and made sure I found a home for them but, otherwise, I surrender. White flag, and all!! If I carry on, I shall either need one of those nice cardies with the long sleeves that tie at the back, or I shall publicly badmouth each and everyone of those Ancestry bods who came up with this daft idea.
Incidentally, what IS the 'logic' behind this decision?
Are we absolutely sure that, failing a quickie degree in computer science from the Open University, there isn't a quicker, easier way of just 'selecting all' and bunging them in a colour coded (oh, here come those maroon spots again!) column? Ancestry should have come up with one before they laid this on us.
How do we know they're not going to do a repeat announcement for the 8-10 cM category in a few months time?
