Razlaw you're back! My personal moderator. I wondered when you you'd be back (as I was avoiding you ;)
Forums are supposed to be discussion points where you start a topic and then, well, discuss. Traditionally, if you want to ask a question that's been asked before, the first thing you should do is run a search to see if the queston has already been answered. In this instance, there's a discussion on BV7-40 MKIV specs on page 3 - a 15 second check or search would have answered the question.
If you want to encourage people to ask the same questions and start new threads - as you did in the other thread, where you looked for the discussions yourself and posted the links - then that's your perogative!
BTW "sole subjective personal opinion is unwarranted" sounds absolutely bonkers.
