As an aside:

An ignore list is the BBS equivalent of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and shouting loudly "I can't hear you"... All it lacks is the drama of the foot stamping.

what did the two pilots say to each other? does it matter?
I'd suggest that it could have mattered a lot. Since no-one will ever know the conversation could, just as easily, have been:-

Pilot 1: I can't move the controls, can you?

Pilot 2: Err.. No...

Pilot 1: Oh Pooh...

In fact the only conversations that would have been worrisome would have been one where no-one was talking or no-one was talking about the conduct of the flight or the state of the aircraft in the last ten seconds leading up to the crash. So, yes. What the two pilots said to each other would have been very important to have known.
