Page 3 Line 22: the results show a faster clock for the type O than the A (even this is not really a lot faster - considering the VP1 only there is a difference between the two of ~4nt changes per year). Might this be due to the different molecular clock model used for type A and O?

Nice comment. But no, the differences don't seem to be different only because of different relaxed clocks because using ULN for both will still give different estimates. Definitive statements will have to wait on new, more complete data.
