Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very
important..to the many of us who actually care about users' welfare vs.
simply handing out information which may or may not do you any favors
and which may come back to haunt you.

Granted, you are free to do with your computer what you want. However,
if your larger purpose is to understand how to use your computer wisely,
understanding what you think you want to accomplish is most important.
OTOH, if you aren't that interested in your computer well, best of luck
to you.

The assertions are not ridiculous, although your parroting certainly is,
and you're becoming more and more well known for it almost daily. I
noticed neither you nor your puppetmaster jumped at the chance to settle
it out awhile back when I issued the challenge to do so.

No, the larger question is, why do *YOU* and your sockpuppet and
puppetmaster continue with this ridiculous campaign?
The only outlandish thing here is your lack of knowledge, attempting
to misdirect conversations to simplisitic, irrelevant points so it
sounds good, along with your myopic views.

Oh yeah, also, QUIT SPAMMING FOR PC MAG! Your buddies will be
reporting you.

No. You were being a pompous ass - as usual - and were readying to
lecture the OP about the relation or lack thereof between a "clean
registry" and the speed of one's computer.

You are so transparent.

So speaketh the most pompous of asses. Thou must heed his words and
not question his motives, lest ye be tongue-lashed at the stake.

Now I never have to bother with your ignorance again. I feel bad for the

What makes you think "that poster" is no longer here?

Or that "that poster" ever left?

I happen to know that your "letter" never resulted in anything other
than making you feel better. <grin>
