So to quote some of the posters - curious relatives might be upset to read speculation over the cause of an accident or the abilities of the pilot or just the syntax of the posting - and so we should not speculate or comment on accidents?

Oh pleeaassee!

If they are that sensitive then perhaps not reading might be a sensible approach. This forum particularly can be pretty critical - remember the 'drunken Oban accident' which might or might not have been?

Pretty robust but no one felt that relatives sensibilities should stop it. I very much agree with that approach, we spend far too much time worrying about other people's feelings.

I do share the unease about early naming - if only because it can sometimes be very difficult to contact relatives - but beyond that - open season.
