I sympathise with those posting how irritated they are by the non-technical speculating on these message boards; however to some extent it is an easy way for us to learn how the systems operate. For me, the 'need to know' philosophy for new aircraft types is inadequate and I have spent hours talking to engineers for explanations.
The real irritation for me though are the posts by journalists notably from the tabloids who blatantly advertise their publications on here with no interest in knowing the truth as that is not sufficiently news-worthy. What this incident has highlighted is how unreliable are most journalists, since exaggeration is preferable to delaying saying anything until true facts are known. That is different from pilots wanting clues on what happened to expand their knowledge of an incident which most of us have never had to face YET!
