So now you expect me to believe that Joseph Smith introduced polygamy but didn't practice it himself, despite the LDS historians claiming otherwise and the numerous accounts of the marriages?
Emma ran some of his wives out of the house. So Smith may not practiced polygamy as much as he would have liked, but it sounds like he was practicing it, which is why Emma ran them out.
DNA testing doesn't prove Smith wasn't a polygamist, it may just prove that he wasn't a very fertile polygamist.
What little I've read indicates that only 5 of the 12 children believed to be Smith's have been DNA tested. And the testing only works on male children. So the only thing DNA testing has proved so far is that 5 males that were thought to be his, aren't.
Don't you find it odd that all of the rest of the early polygamists had lots of contemporaneous records and lots of progeny, but JS has neither?

You mean she ran out the maids? I certainly think that JS might have had affairs. You have a strange definition of marriage.

That might be true, except that he had a number of kids through Emma. He was obviously fertile.

That is correct, DNA testing has failed to identify a single descendant. Did you know that the number of people claiming to be descendants dropped precipitously when DNA testing became available? When they first started the DNA testing they anticipated hundreds of results : )
