Waste of time?

I have followed this thread since Day 1 and contributed occasionally and asked questions when my personal knowledge ran out. It seems a great pity that we have to persistently wade our way through piles of cr*p to get to the 'good stuff', and most recently I have to take issue with bearfoil. With the exception of little green men from the planet Zog, it seems that any kooky idea with a shred of Airbus-itus (definition: anything built by Airbus must be implicitly designed to screw with the crew in some nefarious and more convoluted manner than it did in the previous post) must be somehow to blame, and blow me down with a feather, the crew must have been overtaken by HAL as it went increasingly 'nuts' (obviously hell bent on dashing the airplane into the ocean despite the heroic efforts of the crew).

The last post I bothered to read by bear involved some absentmindedly forgotten-by-BEA nose-down pitch (of -9 degrees!) and overspeed (I think it was), that the PF fought against resulting in the zoom-climb of doom....blah, blah, blah.

Look I'm all for theories, but let's face it - this imaginary world belongs firmly over in Rumors and News. Please take this lala-land and post it where it belongs. Please.

I have learned so much over here in the relative sanity of the Tech Log - massive to mm43, gums, Chris Scott, Turbine D, takata, henra, PJ2, DW, '33' and others. The sanity you have brought here is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what this post itself contributes other than allowing me to vent some...
