Please be very careful when speculating, as it can cause untold harm to the organisation you are speculating about.
With all due respect:
Is this only applicable to the Sea Vixen, or does it apply to other subjects in this forum as well? If yes, where are you going to draw the line, on which subjects are we then allowed to speculate and would it then not just be most efficient to shut down the forum to avoid the damage you fear?
There is a distinct difference between (a) people directly or indirectly associated with an organisation leaking more or less correct snippets of information, and (b) a happy bunch of enthusiasts speculating by firing off more or less correct guesses.
Postings from people in category (a) indeed need to made while exercising utmost care.
This nothwithstanding, I honestly find it very hard to believe that serious potential financial supporters of an organisation cannot distinguish between these categories in a public (!) forum with essentially unlimited access (!), and/or get put off from postings by people in category (b).
@G-NATY (again with all due respect):
This thread has been running for about a fortnight before you tagged on to it! I should think you would have look here quite often, given the importance you attribute to this forum?
I can only echo the previously expressed opinions to the effect that information directly from the horse’s mouth would go a long way to avoid the situation that you so dislike.
