Are you saying that people are - in general - dumb?
I am not. Matter of fact - I make no mention of smart/dumb until now.

Common sense and intelligence are not the same.

I do not have to know the details on how my mattress is made in order to research
opinions on it or ask the people selling them (and not depend on just one
vendor/salesperson - but compare answers among several different
vendors/salespeople.)

If someone just doesn't have the common sense to research before buying
something - let's say television for example - and they get it home and it cannot
connect to their cable box or their VCR or their game system because it only has
one type of connection - should they blame the TV manufacturer or the VCR/cable
box or game system manufacturer or themselves or any or all of the above?

So - in general - yes, but no... If someone just goes out and purchases the
'latest thing' without learning more about that thing than "it's the newest
thing, it is all the rave" - then they shouldn't necessarily *expect* enormous
problems - but if they have to jump through a few hoops and/or buy some adapters
and/or upgrade something else of theirs to make the 'latest fad item' work - they
should look at their own mistake of not doing some simple research/asking of
questions/thinking ahead before they start pointing fingers at those who did not
force the information down their throat 'for their own good'.

Agreed.

Either side could be right, could be wrong - because it deals with something
influenced by an infinite number of variables - all controlled by free
thinking human beings - almost all different in some way from all others.

You apparently have no knowledge of human nature.

And you would know because? Hell, you don't even know what human nature
is about, I don't think. Your'e a p-poor example of humanity period
with all the misinformation and feces you spew. Your credibility is
pretty well gone now if you ever had any.

You stated the problem correctly in your second sentence. Quoting you: "I
don't think".
You tell me I'm a poor example of humanity for the misinformation I spew?
You had best look in a mirror when you say that. It is you who keeps pushing
registry cleaners.
You try to describe me and yet know nothing of me. You try to impress people
by
insults, name calling etc. to anyone who disagrees on your registry stand.
Have you ever examined your credibility? With registry cleaners? Get real.
