Might I mention that the "crime scenes" are still being investigated,
and that the "CSI guys" are not yet done their work?

And while we are on this metaphor, who sez we have only a single "smoking
gun"?  
I, for one, don't see gunmen behind EVERY grassy knoll, but neither am I
going 
to assume a "lone gunman".

Give them time to sort it all out.

This is a long-standing advisory.  Anyone with even half a clue
has been doing this for more than a decade now.  I have not heard
any such suggestion mentioned as a way to prevent/defeat CCD, but
it certainly can't hurt, now can it?

> yet there is no factor, or cause found.  

Again, give them time to sort it all out.

I think it would be more accurate to say that there is an over-abundance
of "clues", and slogging through them all is what is taking so long.

Another possibility is that the investigation is simply taking longer
than you'd like, and your impatience is showing.

Well, what has been said to date has been admitted to be highly
speculative and preliminary in nature, so the odds of any analysis 
of these very tentative statements yielding anything useful is about 
as likely as the chances of a dog urinating a faithful copy of 
the Mona Lisa into a snow bank.  :)
