"ELDERS with an S" added to ScottishDNA chart

Hi folks,
Today I added "ELDERS with an S" kit #219446 (37 markers)
to the ScottishDNA chart
at
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Scottishdna

With the kit owner's permission,
I have also ordered the Deep Clade test ($89) for that kit.

His DNA doesn't match any other ELDER kit, not even the "PAXTANG PA" kits with I2b1 group. Their TIP comparison says:
"In comparing Y-DNA37 markers, which show 17 mismatches, the probability that (kit #17814) (PAXTANG PA) and (kit #219446) (ELDERS) shared a common ancestor ....is 0.00%
