Yes, it's verbose.
I could have eliminated "ApplicationMaintenance." with a "using" above, but this is a menu program that references almost a dozen projects and it's more convenient for me to see the project name in the code than look for it elsewhere.
Again, I didn't have to type it and once this compiles no one will know that I could have shortened this line.
