Hi Phil,

Perhaps everyone missed my earlier message. Read below regarding what
Bennett Greenspan (President of FTDNA) had to say about delays. I had
complained about a failure to provide results promised back on April
15. NGS is clearly indicated as an event that slowed down their lab.

Y-HAP-Q, ,,4/15/2005, ,,106,.

I think that Bennett explains his view of lab problems in this message.

Hi Dale

That date would coincide well with 2 events on our end. Switching to a
lab management system that stated at batch 108,and running a raft of
samples of the NGS project.
We are about integrated with #1 and completed with #2.
I have a list coming me in the next few days that should provide me a
status on all kits and backlogs...I sure hope so, I'm clearly not happy
with the pace of clearing these, but with a larger then expected
increase in volume from the Genographic project I feel like I've had by
rear kicked by some unexpected volume.



E-mail any time.

Best Regards,

Bennett Greenspan
President

Gentlemen,

I really hate */repeatedly/* beatin' up on a morbid horse, but April 15
was a long time ago...

Just what's goin' on in your lab?

Sincerely,

Dale E. Reddick
