F.Y.I - Your posts are insecure. And this is not spam!

[Guest]

1. If your name is Curt Christianson or 98 Guy, don't bother me. You were
annoying enough when I posted 6 ways to speed up Windows.

2. Here is the main problem, and I want to put this short and simple.
Your posts are automatically sent to different websites. WTF???

Proof:
First, take a look at my other post:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...&p=1&tid=fa0dfc70-f25e-4665-a5c9-319eef1a5b5e

Now, take a look at this version:
http://help.lockergnome.com/windows2/System-acting-strange-ftopict488344.html

Shocking isn't it?

3. The entire website is a target for spam. You might have edited your
e-mail address, but remember, a human can understand what that means.

It means 'DO NOT SPAM'. Do they obey that? Of course not. I think you should
know though.

4. The website is bugged. Now I have seen this error many times (SO FOR ONCE
DON'T SAY I AM WRONG), where replies to topics get sent as topics themselves.

And, for you that might not be a threat to your security. Unless you have an
e-mail address in your signature.

I am NOT going to go through more errors, because I know one of you will say
I am such a loser and should be kicked off this forum site. Well too late, I
am already going. So when you (or even one of you people at M$) want to see
more information about this, good luck! I am not coming back!

But I don't want to offend anybody.

Hi John,

I didn't mean to offend *you* John, in your first post earlier. It's just
"we" regulars here *do* have an aversion to registry cleaners in
general--not just the one you mentioned: but ALL of them.

Your other 5 points were generally pretty right on, and are (or should be)
SOP for anybody keeping their machine "lean and mean".

As to your last comment about our posts showing up in other locations or
forums--if you do some digging you will find those posts in a lot more
places too. Don't forget, just about anything that anybody says in the MS
newsgroups are archived on Google--probably for "eternity" <s>.

As to the e-mail advice, you are right. I *do* leave myself open for spam
from someone lurking in this group, but it's munged enough so the "bots" are
confused. In 7 years in the MS NG's, I've only received 3 e-mails from
individuals who took the time to "un-munge" my e-mail address--all three
e-mails were personal thank-yous for some help I provided.

Once again, there was no offense intended in your first post--a great deal
of us just don't like reg. cleaners in general. BTW, I *did* download the
cleaner you referred to, and am going to test it out. I *can* tell you that
because it is a Registry "cleaner", it is inherently dangerous. The link I
provided may be of interest to you.

What you don't seem to understand is that you're using a web interface
to Usenet, not really a web forum.

Usenet is propagated around the world, to many servers, and thanks to
the wonders of technology, web forums now pull directly from Usenet.

Anyone that posts with a real name or email address has always been
exposed to spam and other unethical things.

I apologize for my earlier reply.

I should expect that not everyone has the same thoughts about software.
