Barry, the answer to your question whether people in Johannesburg could read your posts is "yes" - BUT - whether they would actually read them or not is a whole different matter.

Bear in mind that the percentage of Genes members who actually use the site is relatively small. Factor in that the proportion of members who may be in South Africa is again very small and there you have it.

There's a miniscule chance that somebody sometime might just google the names you have given and your posts might have a very remote possibility of coming up in their search results - don't hold your breath, I'm afraid.

What happened when you contacted those newspapers that Janey gave you a list of?
