I would tend to agree IF facts were presented. I always try to do
that. I see the anti-Registry Cleaner crowd doing nothing but huffing
and puffing and when asked to demonstrate why not to use Registry
Cleaners the best they can come up is because we said so. That isn't
very useful in my book. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but
people need to separate opinions which are often biased, from
demonstrated FACTS.
What I see is the anti-Registry Cleaner crowd pretending that
everybody that tries one will blindly push some automatic button
because they don't know any better. That's the ever present "you must
be a dummy, I'm not" mindset that is so prevalent here.
My opinion is the average user is way smarter then the fake "experts"
here like to pretend.
That's like saying people will leave their car in gear, get out and
watch in horror as it goes careening down a steep incline. People
generally aren't that dumb and in general they aren't as dumb as some
try to paint them concerning computers.
The right way to post here is simply present FACTS or if you're
sharing your opinion make it clear it is JUST your opinion. The sad
reality is many here use this newsgroup as a forum to pump up their
own egos and don't really give a rat's ass about helping anybody. Over
time people learn all by themselves who's doing that and who actually
tries to help. <wink>
