As a general winge I'm also amazed at the rampant speculation and even conspiracy theories displayed in this thread. Let the NTSB do their job then perhaps we can speculate as to how Boeing will remedy the problem.
You always get a certain amount of noise in a public forum, but I think the
majority here are genuinely curious as to what went wrong. Also, possible
design flaws have already been exposed. Just as open source software is often
of better quality than the so called pro stuff, forums like these often have much
more of a clue as to what's what because of the wide range of skills and
experience of the contributors.
The spirit of enquiry, enquiring minds want to know etc :-).
If you think this is bad, you should try the newsgroups, where flame wars are an
everyday event...
