    Why?

    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    The start of some sanity?

        That's what; not why.

        Those modules exist and serve useful purposes; but just as I do not use high-pressure autoclaves, ultrasonic debriders or anti-bacterial soaps to clean my car; there is simply no good reason for using those modules for this purpose.

        So your terse suggestions and laconic style amount to nothing more than insecurity and bluster.
