I would infer if somebody is asking for a recommendation of some
Registry Clearer he already decided to try one and is only looking for
opinions on which work best. While one may add their opinion about
Registry Cleaners, doing so when that wasn't the question is in my
opinion heavy handed and attempting to influence the person unduly. Of
course that kind of thing never happens in groups like this. <snicker>
