How odd. I posted the message backquoted below at 8:20 pm, before the message I
posted at 8:48 pm. The latter/later message arrived on the list at 8:49 pm, but
the earlier message didn't arrive until 12:33 am. Sorry that the messages
didn't make sense arriving in that order.

Someone has asked me offlist what "NPE" means. My apologies.
I usually define it the first time I use it in a message. It means
"non-paternal event," which is either an adoption or illicit
paternity (adultery on the part of a wife) in the person's
patrilineal line. I discuss the NPEs that I've found in my
projects and the degree to which they've been resolved on this page:

Again, sorry,
