That was your question about the ancestor/descendent though, right?

Same here.  You're right about it mostly being kids posing the 
questions...wonder if we could lobby for an 'adults only' chat? <g>

Yes, they did seem random, perhaps because it was on Scholastic--
geared more to the kids and their questions; maybe the B&N chat will 
be more 'open'.  I asked many of the same quests you did, perhaps if 
enough of us ask the same ones (over and over) in the BN chat, we'll 
get an answer...
