More on Registry Cleaners

[Twayne]

This post is presented to show the errors of the closed minded who are
saying that all registry cleaners are snake oil, never do anything
useful, and/or should never under any circumstance be used. In defense
of such misinformation, I give you the following enlightenment:

Excerpt of article found at:

Windows XP Registry Cleaner Can Improve Your PCs Performance
If you are wondering why your computer?s performance has been unstable
these past few days, you might want to run a compatible registry cleaner
for your system. Cleaning up your computer?s registry can make your
system perform its best and likewise, extend its life span. Doing this
does not require a great deal of technical knowledge because registry
cleaners are very easy to use.

Before delving deeper into the topic of registry cleaners, it is
important for you to know what exactly the registry is and why cleaning
it will optimize your computer?s performance. The registry is the place
where the operating system of your computer stores all types of
information regarding the settings of your software and other vital
system settings. It is one of the most critical components to the full
functionality of your computer, which is why when something goes wrong
in your registry; the overall performance of the computer suffers.

More boring twaddle

Well, when a thinking person encounters something boring, he usually
moves on to the next post. This was clearly addressed to a segment of
hte population and if you don't consider yourself to be part of that,
why would you bother with a useless post such as this? Think for
yourself, man.

I have been the victim of registry cleaners over the years - and it took me
years to learn my lesson.

If you'll look at the link that was provided - I have difficulty taking
seriously any page that advertises sexual performance improvers alongside of
it's registry cleaner article.

But, being adventurous, I ventured on to the link for the reviews that was
provided in the article. On that page I noted many references to clickbank -
and none to Microsoft (who made RegClean and used to distribute it for free).
Then I click on the RegClean Review link and am directed to a link that
claims a money back guarantee in 8 weeks! The "review" is joke, it doesn't
contain any useful information.

This is (IMO) nothing but a scam that's trying to play on peoples need for a
quick fix.

Another who buries head in sand rather than learn anything useful.

And another spammer that MULTIposts the same message into multiple
newsgroups to hide that they shotgunned their post all over the place.

That you are easily swayed by the vendor of a commercial registry
cleaner who obviously needs to contrive reasons for paying for their
product doesn't mean anyone else is also so easily swayed. Some users
actually analyze a product's behavior to determine if it has value while
also not incurring a hazard to the stability of their system.

You promote registry cleaners. Well, no, you were promoting one of them
and then edited your successive MULTIposts to eliminate the vendor
reference but THEIR contrived reasons may not match up with the behavior
of another registry cleaner.

So what we have is a troll on a mission to proselytize registry cleaners
and do so by MULTIposting it to multiple newsgroups. You've gone out of
your way to earn your troll status so feel proud to display your efforts
to earn that status.

You don't learn. You recite. You never bother to delve into the
subject. You're just spouting someone else's "advice", and which comes
from someone that obviously has an ulterior motive to qualify their
wares trying to get someone to buy it, and advice that may not be
applicable to another product even after you removed the references to
the original vendor's article.

I'll provide just one example: orphaned entries. Do they slow down
searches or access to the registry? No. Why? Because that branch
containing the orphaned entry won't be accessed (or it obviously
wouldn't be orphaned). The memory copy of the registry gets accessed,
not the file copy, and memory is random read, so reading one word from
memory is just as fast as reading another word - but then the orphaned
entry won't even get accessed! Ah, but then you aren't interested in
learning the registry to understand whether or not the claims by a
registry product are valid. You just recite in a vain attempt to
elevate your status as some wizard. All you've proven is that you don't
have the initiative and smarts to investigate the claims.

You are posting *unsolicited* commercial material, that falls well
withing the definitions of SPAM! You are spaming the newsgroup!

An outright lie from a pretty ignorant person. Prove it. You can not.
If anything ended up multiposted OR crossposted, it was done by one of
your ignorants. Your lie easily displays not only ignorance but also a
lack of credibility with a willingness to initiate a troll-session.
Otherwise you would not simply go off topic and rant; you would be able
to provide facts for WHY registry cleaners are never any good, should
never be used, and should always be avoided. But instead you try to
change the direction of the posts; nice try.

drivel snipped.

lol! Like I said! And if that's the case nearly every new post here
qualifies as spam under your definition! BTW, it's not "SPAM"(TM), it's
"spam". One is a trademarked name, the other not. But I guess I
wouldn't expect you to know that anyway.

Actually, it sounds like you've been victimized by malware if that's
what you came to. Or DNS theft or something. Or, it's always possible
too that you made up the post. Either way you need help. I just looked
again and there are no irrelevant links as you claim on that page or
either of the pages the links take you to.
Whatever it was, you apparently need some help.

Not at all, people post here asking for help with specific problems and
at times pointing the poster to a commercial site or suggesting a third
party product as a solution to their dilemma is completely appropriate.
The difference lies in the *unsolicited* part of the post, in the
above case the poster asking for help may be happy with the
recommendation of a third party commercial product.

As for your post, you started a new post without being asked for any
advice on anything and you posted *unsolicited* commercial material,
that is spam! No one asked for it, you just posted it for no valid
reason other than to push third party commercial products. And I know
what SPAM (meat) is and what unsolicited commercial material is, in
upper or lowercase it doesn't matter. In your expected manner you are
just doing your usual to skate around the issues, you simply have no
credibility left so you try to further obfuscate the issue by trying
bring in another one of your completely irrelevant excuses into the
discussion.

John

PS. I am still waiting for your links to support your earlier claims
that restarting Windows 3 times cleans the registry. Surely an expert
like you should be able to easily find supporting information for his
claims and acquiesce to such a reasonable request.

I think you are wrong about the motivation. I doubt that Twayne has any
commercial connections with the site. He just thinks he know better than
the rest of us. You cannot debate anything with him. It is like talking
to a dummy.This conversation needs ending. The more you feed trolls the
more boring drivel they spout.
