Progress Report : If something is worth doing, it's worth doing well

By now, many of you are aware that Knudt is currently reporting the findings from her investigation of the July 18 incident. This investigation and report is, frankly, what the Board promised members, yet failed to deliver. The complete report will be made available to all members as a PDF, with a summary. At that time, we will also hold a question/answer/discussion session. Meanwhile, you can submit questions here.

Why Knudt?
Knudt was already investigating the incident through publicly available data, was close, and was interested in getting to the truth. Knudt is logical, fact-based, focused, and detail-oriented. And one step removed from the direct involvement that Dyebat, CL, and I had in this incident.

Dyebat, CL and I are grateful that Knudt was willing to spend so much of her time to do this part for us, and for all the members of the Susan Boyle online community that wanted to know what really happened back in July.

Knudt spent months sifting through a variety of data, interviewing people, and asking questions. She did not begin posting until she was sure.

Why are these investigations taking so long?
The simple answer is that a number of people have gone to a lot of trouble to create confusion, distractions, and cover up the truth.

Why should we believe you?
Dyebat and I certify that the data we have collected (and/or have shared) is unaltered by us. Personally, I have kept copies of all data intact, all PC's used during my involvement, all email accounts and BaseCamp and CampFire accounts active for any potential legal investigations. In short, we stand behind our data and our findings. We stand behind Knudt and CL's integrity. We welcome any legal inquiries or investigations. Just be advised and aware that we have more data that cannot be posted publicly.

Dyebat and I will have more comments when Knudt's reporting is completed.
