Actually, as the original poster, the suggestion (by a Great Person in the
Field, who shall remain nameless, suggested by some of his/her data, which
may or may not have replicated, I just wanted to hear if anyone else had
noticed, ready for the rest of the main clause?) was only that people with
left handers in the family (uncles, etc.) but who themselves were *right* 
handed, read faster than right handers who don't have left handers in their
family. Sorry for any confusion.
