That is the truth!

She usually doesn’t contact anyone, unless they contact her first. I asked her if you tried to contact her before you wrote this article and she said you didn’t?

As I said; I believe any time you write this kind of article, that is the approach that should be taking. Usually if you’re story holds any water the person or business will refuse to talk to you anyways, and make your story even better.

If they feel they are right, they will talk to you (as much as they can), and that will also enhance your story. It will also make you look more professional and truthful.

Best Wishes to all,

From working in the medical field I can tell you straight out one bad tech, or receptionist, or mail clerk can translate into heaps of trouble for the unit as a whole. If they had ONE person who was not logging in samples correctly it could put a huge monkey wrench into the system.

I don’t know Dr Ketchum either professionally or personally but I’m willing to wait until the paper comes out to render my decision, whether that paper comes out this year or 5 years from now. Until the facts are presented its nothing but guesses on our parts anyway.

But I do give a ‘here, here’ for having any DNA results verified by at least two other labs. Its fairly standard to have questionable or unusual results verified by blind studies, just to be certain no mistakes or contamination has occurred.

Oh and a PS to Mr Soto who appears to be answering for the DNA lab. A better grasp of the English language would be helpful. The grammar and spelling in some of those replies were not ‘professional grade’ in the least.

Moving along elsewhere, perhaps the Lab in question does have its priorities in order sorta, as any complaint appears to coincide within the time interval for hundreds of incoming NAPE samples requiring more thorough testing?

For all anybody here knows someone could have insisted the results say pangolian, while the sender insisted ankylosaurus.

Who knows about such complaints?

well while all bbb franchises may not be the same they all use the same flawed rating system.
it is EXTREMELY misleading and inaccurate…

How do they have any business giving a rating when all they do is catalog complaints?..
it doesn’t even matter if the person complaining is a customer..or the complaint holds any water..it is still cataloged.
they also do not factor in customer volume..

so if your not tracking customer volume and you just count complaints whether they are valid or not you have no business assigning a rating..period..

Wasn’t it the Ritz Carlton Hotels who had an F rating for 2 complaints?
2 complaints out of literally millions of customers…

And as I also point it if they pay for accreditation that is wiped and they will start with an A Rating..

So many things wrong with how the BBB does things..
My point and opinion was and still is that the BBB is not to be respected…
I Give the BBB an F-

You say:

Woolheater’s use of this information, which should be private as it is NOT under any government mandate or “sunshine law” and is not public record, is reprehensible and should be retracted and an apology issued to Ketchum. Generating hits on Cryptomundo’s counter on the backs of honest people is underhanded at best. Yet, it is done all the time. I will stand behind Ketchum and I urge ALL here to do the same.wildphotographer

You are kidding me, right?

A company’s BBB rating is public information.

Don’t think so? Pull up the BBB website and do a search for DNA Diagnostics in Timpson, TX.

What I posted is there for any and all to see.

As far as my comments, here is what I said:

So we have a DNA study that folks have been awaiting the results for some time.

Looks like we aren’t the only ones.

and

There are more complaints, all generally saying the same thing.

Will we ever see the Sasquatch DNA test results?

I merely reposted public information and asked people’s thoughts.

That hardly warrants a retraction or an apology.

As far as this statement of yours:

Dr. Ketchum told me that she is extremely hurt and upset by what Woolheater said, and that the incident grew out of a case involving a cat, a case in which the clients didn’t pay.wildphotographer

If Dr. Ketchum was extremely hurt and upset and wanted a retraction and/or apology, she knows how to reach me, she’s a facebook friend.

It won’t be at your request or demand, of that, you can be assured.

What is happening is that individuals who didn’t get on board with this study, for whatever reason and in whatever manner, now realize that they missed the boat. The boat has left the dock without them. NOW these bitter, jealous people are trying desperately to sink the boat with false arguments and rumor, but the boat is already far out to sea.

Bon voyage.

Great posts guys!

Dr Ketchum explained to me what happened in these situations. Basically it was almost as Jeff suggested. The situations are not up for discussion due to legal reasons.

What happened was just something that happens when certain parties don’t understand what they are asking for, and what is capable with DNA testing.

However like JC says if these are the only complaints about her in the 1000′s of business dealings since 1985, I would think it’s not a bad record. What she deals in is not as cut and dry as fixing a new Faucet, or even setting up the plumbing in a whole house.

You have a goal and a end point, but you can’t always get there, that is the nature of DNA or more so, the samples that Science tries to get the DNA from. It doesn’t always happen, and it doesn’t always say what you want it to say. When people don’t get what they want, they sometimes get mad.

The study is moving along… Come on guys, some of the delay may be my fault and not hers. The sample that I represent and have on and off since the start of the study, we had difficulty getting signed in. We all know that is the sample that came through those men that have been talking allot. Larry the property owner, where the sample came from, got disenchanted with all involved. Because of some dealings with JB, RS and AE… He didn’t know who to trust, including DR K. When we got him secure again in all of us. He agreed to let his sample be involved.

Now, lets let Melba do her work. There may be other samples in the same situation, I won’t speak for anything but mine/Larry’s. However it seems to me she can’t come out with her study, until she knows what samples are going to be in the study. As I have said in the past until you have signed into the study. Your samples can’t be included. I have offered to help in many ways and will continue to do so as needed. Right now, it’s just time to let her do her thing.

What we all are doing is distracting her from her goal, she can’t watch us and complete what she’s doing at the same time.

Let’s let her finish, let’s help her finish, then afterwards we can have the biggest most glorious debate ever thought out… We can do it right her or on BFF or my little AZCRO FORUM, and all of the above.

We can debate if her study is credible! We can debate if her study is done with good science. We can debate if she is a good scientist and if she picked the most highly sought after institutions to get on board and help with the testing and peer review. I think you will all be very impressed!

The best minds in the country are involved with this and those that aren’t want to be! (See my post on Todd’s Comment about Melba, made to me personally).

This is something she is doing for all of us. If you (and I mean any of us/you) had a sample and wanted it included this would be done for you too. So isn’t this study really and truly for all of us? I think it is! This is a good lady who’s trying very hard to be everything for everybody, lets let her work!

Best Wishes
