All complex machinery that man makes requires constant maintenance to keep it going, replacing of parts when they wear out, etc.

If you think that your "parts" are not replaced, you are mistaken. On average, of all the atoms that made up your body not so long ago, not a single atom is left today. Your rate of "maintenance" is higher than that of the average dishwasher.

So as a community, we decided that the best way forward was to have an approval process that cut out much of the dross that you find on other sites. We as a COMMUNITY like it like that.
