"On December 27, 2016, I had a short phone conversation with Mr. Mark Basile. He continues to work on his red/gray chip study in his spare time and he will contact us as soon as he is ready to write up some results - which he hopes to do in a few months time. We apologize for the delays and thank our supporters for their patience. The results will be worth the wait. Finally, we would like to remind readers that new WTC dust samples are welcome in case anyone knows about a possible supply."
This documents three facts:
- Mark Basile is not actually working on the samples at all. A competent analyst would not need more than a few weeks.
- Mark Basile no longer intends to send any samples to any independent lab. For why else would HE be working on them?
- The samples that he has contain red-gray chips (he has shown examples years ago), but he know or at least suspects already that not a single one is actually "thermitic".
