Question came up WHY hijackers would like to fly undetected and not want to have the plane found? Well, isn't the spectacle as it is happening now not already evidence enough that he/they will go down in aviation history? A disappearing airliner with 200+ people on board and no motives/demands. A lot of thinking went into this one and it would qualify for the worlds most costly & elaborate suicide act.

You're getting way ahead of the facts. We do not even know if it was hijacked at all, and we have no idea if it was a suicide attempt or not.
Question came up WHY hijackers would like to fly undetected
To avoid being intercepted. IF it was a hijacking, there's no way to know what they were originally planning, or what took place after they hijacked the plane initially. Maybe the flight crew subdued them and regained control of the plane. There are any number of scenarios that could be drummed up to try to explain what we've seen. We may never find out what really happened. Even with the black boxes, we'd only get part of the story.

What if there are people on the ground who know something about this, if it was premeditated? Is there something on a computer somewhere that might give a clue? There could be important information out there right now; it might not all have gone down with the plane. If this was some kind of plot by the pilot or copilot or crew or passengers, isn't it possible that there is information out there somewhere? I haven't heard much at all about an investigation of this kind. It might not solve anything, but it's worth pursuing.
This is so far removed from DB Cooper. That was a hijacking for money - demands communicated to the authorities, plane in constant communication with the ground, etc.
Flight 370 was not hijacked for money or for political purposes, otherwise demands would have been made and it would have landed somewhere. Hijackers, as opposed to suicidal terrorists, want to live.

The FBI apparently did forensic analysis on the computers owned by the pilot. The results of that have not been made public, AFAIK. I am sure the Malaysian authorities are looking at possible co-conspirators in this, but that is not being made public either. I imagine the Chinese and the CIA are looking at this quite a bit also but obviously we won't be told anything about that.
If this was a lone act, by an individual, the evidence will be very thin since he won't be communicating or planning with anyone else. If this was a conspiracy, there should be some sort of paper trail.

Reply was:
Not if no one ever knows that's what it was.
The pilot made you tube videos to help people, not the type to kill all those people. Especially little children.
If anything, maybe there was a black belt on board that was responsible.
