Gentlemen,
It's not about the merit of the questions. Though I do find it in appropriate to ask people what something they own cost—just how I was raised—that's not what I wrote.
It is about presenting accurate information second-hand, meaning that unlike in our Powerboat magazine days we are not running the boats we present in Year In Review with professional test drivers and looking and poring through price breakdowns from manufacturers that were mandatory if they wanted to participate in the magazine's testing program.
We're not going to publish any information in which we do not have confidence. Hence the policy shift.
Onward.
