I added that one explicitly to show that, sometimes, there's value in a picture of a wheel. That photo is explicit enough so as to allow someone to, at the least, infer and copy its design. It's fundamentally more valuable in that it shows a mechanism or series of parts than does a photo of a wheel made from a single billet of aluminum or something similar.

It's by no means black or white, obviously, and I mentioned in the beginning that it's possibly many will disagree with me. I just though it might be time for a friendly reminder to everyone that there are people behind the scenes and, perhaps more importantly, there're folks reading the forums during the build season that don't have hours a day to pour through threads that have no value -- and fun isn't valuable to someone trying to find an answer to their question.
