The curious incident

When Greg Chappell's email was leaked to the media, the BCCI President condemned the action and promised to find out the source of the leak. He announced various times over the next few days that an internal "probe" of the matter was being conducted by the BCCI. The first time he mentioned this was on September 27, 2005. It is December 26th today and, as yet, no news on what the probers found. I have no illusions that the BCCI will ever announce who leaked the email as it reminds me of this exhange between Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Gregory in Silver Blaze.

Inspector Gregory: “Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Sherlock Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
Inspector Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
Sherlock Holmes: “That was the curious incident,” remarked Sherlock Holmes.

(If you haven't read Silver Blaze, you should! Sherlock Holmes solves a case primarily based on the above information).
