At the risk of being accused of continuing this discussion I offer the
following:
On 1-11-2010 at 5:39PM Twayne stated 'there are sound technical
reasons to run
a registry cleaner'. When asked to provide just one, he refuses just
as he ignores
all the posters who have damaged their system by running a registry
cleaner. I believe these discussions are important so as to prevent
the likes of Twayne
from misleading new users of PCs..
Nice mislead, but still wrong, no matter how it's formatted. Most people can
make up their own minds, unlike you. It's obvious and easy to find the
technical reasons for using registry cleaners if you'd bother to so much as
even try to look. Had a newbie and not your idiotness asked the question
I'd have responded in kind, with links and everything. But for you, there
is no accounting for you and it'd be nothing but a waste of time. Oh, and
don't try posing; it si extremely unlikely to work no matter how hard you
try.

I have never once, in at least 5 years, seen you respond to
someone who posted the damage done to
his/her machine by a registry cleaner. You conveniently ignore
them. Then, you severely criticize some who
says registry cleaners are 'snakeoil'. Why are you so two faced? Do
you work for the 'snakeoil' developers?

Well, you'd better go look again. Or put your glasses on. I don't
offer answers to someone if I don't know the answer. But I DO
address your misinformation. K? And, I'm clear about what I'm
doing. You've missed a lot of posts in 5 years.

You never offered answers to someone who damaged their
system by a registry cleaner because you don't know the
answer? Then why do you push them? And you say "I'm
clear about what I'm doing"
Are you mentally handicapped?

Prove I never offered answers.

Seriously? That's the responses and what this has come to?
You want proof you never did something instead of providing proof
you did something at least a single time which completely resolves
that argument? Go ahead - you can answer that you shouldn't have to prove
anything
and stomp your feet and hold your breath and turn blue - because
that is what this conversation has [de]evolved to - or you could
prove yourself and give one link, one solitary web link to one time
where you, and I will quote "unknown" here, "offered answers to
someone who damaged their system by a registry cleaner".
In the whole 'registry cleaner' argument - I could care less in the
end. If someone has the skills to use something and know which
things are useful as tools vs. those that are not - more power to
them. If someone does not and they decide to dive headfirst into
something they don't understand and end up drowning - more power to
them. Doesn't matter if it is registry cleaners, registry editors,
antimalware applications, antivirus applications, duplicate file
finders, random advice from people they do not know or whatever - if
someone is willing to do it - I am not going to stand in their way. I
will give them my experience and I will warn them that if they are
not truly prepared - things can and likely will go wrong (get worse.)
However - stop right there - I do not care - it's their decision. I
will not push them into anything overly complicated or that should
not be done without precise instructions followed to the letter or
things could go wrong. I am careful about what I ask people to do
to their system - keeping it simple and understanding that sometimes
- it is better to teach someone how to backup and go to an expert
than how to start going through something they may never understand
and might slip up on - especially given it is seldom an
'end-of-the-world/last-hope-of-success' scenario. In any case - I
digressed - back to the only reason I responded. This is why these posts
get so long and how come it usually ends up
just a couple of people left in them (usually the same people over
and over) - it breaks down to playground (under the age of 8) antics
and taunts. "I know you are, but what am I?" and instead of one or
the other producing the obvious, easy and simple solution that could
end one thread of the conversation - it continues to break down
with, "I'm rubber and you're glue..."
Twayne, if you want to end that part of the discussion - once and for
all - give the single link to answer the question. One Google
Groups link or Microsoft Social link or whatever. That's all it
takes to counter a 'never' - just one. Take the high road. You may
think, might even say (maybe not now that I mention it), I don't
have to prove anything (it's a matter of principle, whatever...) and
you may be right - but it takes only one to oust a 'never' argument.
Failure to produce that one is not the best response unless you stop
responding ever again and just ignore the other (even then - it
doesn't produce the true results you might desire.) *shrug*
In the end - I still do not care. It's a newsgroup argument over
something petty and that didn't matter 20 years ago and might not
matter 20 years from now. It's just something to do to fill the gap
of time between now and then. ;-P
