So get this: my name and some level of my DNA results are shown to complete strangers, and not only that, but they are shown before I even get the information.
This isn't true at all. Nobody sees your name unless you specifically set the privacy setting to that which I can't imagine anyone doing.
Nobody has ever seen my name on 23andme and I see maybe 1 out of 1,000 people's names when they say that they've found a possible relative. Those 1 out of 1,000 people have set their privacy settings to allow that for some weird reason.
