it would be very obvious to all and their usefulness would be
simply verifiable and no debate would be necessary, in fact that is
not the case. Further, I would think that those that market these
programs would by now have devised a very simple 'test' to show how
useful their programs are, as far as I know no such test or
demonstration of their efficacy exists. I know you have made such an
offer but you have no credibility. From your responses to your
critics it appears you must believe there exists some sort of
conspiracy to discredit these programs. Why would that be the case?
We all know by now how much you faith you have in these programs,
please give the 'unconverted' the courtesy to know you are totally
wrong in everything you have said on the subject.

Twayne said:Your ability to count is certainly lacking.
Not nearly as lacking as is your knowledge of the MVP program.
Also "MVP" means nothing
other than the fact that they passed a test and got the title handed to
them.
Totally incorrect. There is no test. The MVP title is an award for
having consistently offering accurate and helpful technical advice for
the past year.
It's easy enough to read about it on their site if you're really
interested.
Which you've clearly not done. Either that or you're deliberately lying.
MVPs are also people; they are good, bad and indifferent
just like everyone else and there have been the occasional bad apples
and posers along the lines, too.
Yes, MVPs are human, and can make mistakes. While some are more
stubborn then others, all that I've ever known will correct their
responses after a mistake has been pointed out.
Being an MVP doesn't make one a "PRO", ...
Not necessarily, no. Nevertheless, many are IT professionals.
... it simply means they demonstrated some knownledge of whatever area of
the computer they chose to take the test in.
Again, there is no test. The award is based solely on proven past
performance.
Most anyone can become an
MVP.
If they offer consistently accurate and helpful technical advice, yes.
That includes closed minded people who have NO evidence for the
things they post,
Then why aren't *you* an MVP? You've certainly *NEVER* offered any
evidence to support your claims about the benefits of using registry
cleaners. The most you've ever done, when challenged, has been to offer
links to worthless and weak marketing/advertising copy.

It is a crock of malarchy! The registry will not "eventually
surcome to system failure unless you maintain the registry either
manually or with a an auto-mated software", that is pure fiction! I
have some machines at work that are almost 10 years old and we never
bother with the registry and those machines have not "surcome" [sic] to
failure! But then it isn't very surprising that db would say something
like that, he's the one who claims that the registry "collects data" and
that "if you leave a computer running 24/7 the registry will collect too
much data and crash".
And you're the not so bright one who claims that merging files to the
registry creates duplicate entries, something that is absolutely
impossible! The two of you together are no smarter than a bag of ball
pein hammers! Go preach your cleaner gospel somewhere else to those who
care to listen, no one here believes a word of the nonsense that the two
of you are spreading.

db.·.. > said:oh, just shut up.
That is always your answer to those who disagree with you. Maybe you
should be the one to shut up as you hardly ever have anything of value
to contribute in any of your posts.
MVP's are nothing
more than people
with ego's and unpaid
help for the microsoft
corporation.
where do you get you
information that mvp's
are experts?
is there a college degree
or certification for being
an mvp?
What would it matter if they did have certifications? You would still
claim to know more and better than they do. Dr. Russinovich holds B.S.
and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering and he is a foremost Windows
expert yet you toss his certifications and expertise aside and you try
to pretend that you know more than he does. I expect that you will soon
claim to also know more about Windows XP than both Bill Gates and Dave
Cutler collectively do and that you are also smarter than both Albert
Einstein and Stephen Hawking!
perhaps, you should further
review what qualifies anyone
to become an mvp.
"Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical
community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily
sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online
technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of
experts that represents the technical community's best and brightest,
and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help
others."
That is a lot more than you have ever demonstrated in any of your posts!
