bother reading my posts.

Huh? You talkin' to me?

What good, pray tell, has a registry cleaner ever done for
you?

At various times, it has removed between 25-500 useless entries,
reduced the registry size by 5%-20%, defragged it, and gave me
the kind of good feeling we anal-retentives enjoy having.

Like all the other believers out there you put some
kind of blind faith or voodoo trust in them and because
your registry cleaner has found and removed a couple

Not "couple", between 25-500 per session, depending on how many
stupid programs written by morons I have tried and "uninstalled"
in the meantime.

of
orphaned registry entries it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling
and you think that it's doing something useful.

I do think that's useful. You are welcome to disagree.

Your question says it all, "WHAT, pray tell, has one done
to any of YOUR systems that you could not undo with the
backup files...".

Too bad you can't answer that question. The truth - as I have
seen it in all my time on the Usenet (this subject tends to be
recurrent) - is that of all the peoploids carping on about how
BAD Reg Cleaners are, not ONE has ever been able to give me an
example of ANYTHING that got ****ed up.

That is the gist of it all. Why bother
with programs that at best do nothing other than give you a
fuzzy feeling

Hey, my life sucks, I take what I can get.

and that at worst will cause problems
requiring you to restore registry files?

E X A M P L E P L E A S E.

That is if the
registry cleaner can even restore its own backup (often
they can't)

Why do you keep on inventing ****? Admit it, you've never even
used one.

or if it hasn't crippled the installation to
the point where the Windows can't boot properly.

And this has happened to you H O W many time, exactly?

Right.

These
cleaners are next to utterly useless and the purposed non
existent benefits parroted by the vendors and fans of these
programs are simply not worth the risk of the real damages
that these programs can and do sometimes cause.

A G A I N, E X A M P L E P L E A S E.

Or, just STFU.

And don't top post.
