System Restore

From personal experience here with you, where you have disagreed with
my correct answer, you are a complete fool!

And Registry Cleaners are NOT needed in modern OSs.

To whichever name you're using today:

Registry cleaners definitely have their places and their uses. It isn't
that I disagree with your "correct answer", it's that your "correct
answer" is just plain wrong. And what the subject change to "NOT
needed" is about, I don't know, because that is not and has not been any
of the points here so far. Take your bait elsewhere.

Stop giving misinformation and I'll stop correcting you.



 
You are a raving lunatic, who should be banned from here.
And sued for giving false information.

Your record when it comes to suing and threatening to sue ain't held
in high esteem here, bozo. You are either stupid (probable) or
emotionally unstable (highly probable).

Effen sue me, wanker.
 
But ... how would I know which of your many identities is suing me? Or
don't your identities ta;l to each other? Within self, I mean. It's
hard to keep track of who you are each time you take ona new personna
and begin to spew your bottom-feeding tripe. You seriousle need a life;
but only one.
 
I have always been a top poster, you f***ing idiot.
You can not understand anything; let alone read headers to discover the
spoofers here.

You are just a waste of space; as everybody here knows.
Have a crap holiday; you deserve it!
 
You have probably corrupted the system restore points in which case none
will be of any use.

I'm afraid that registry cleaners do have a tendency to create more problems
than they actually cure. For that reason I always advise users not to use
registry cleaners, regardless of how 'marvellous' the registry cleaner
company's advertising people paint them.

Top-posters have always been frowned upon by traditional Usenet
aficionados. It is considered to be very bad form.

*Some* "traditional Usenet aficionados" frown upon top-posters. Many
others (including me) do not. And some "traditional Usenet
aficionados" frown upon bottom-posters.

Personally I don't frown upon anyone just for his posting style, but I
can tell you several things concerning the way I feel about posting
styles:

1. If someone replies to a long message with a question at the bottom
of it by top-posting his answer and quoting the entire text of the
original, I have to first scroll all the way down to the bottom to
find the question and then scroll all the way back up to the top to
read the answer.

2. If someone replies to a long message with a question at the bottom
of it by bottom-posting his answer and quoting the entire text of the
original, I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find the
question and the answer.

Both of the above are poor ways to post, as far as I'm concerned, and
inconvenience me greatly--so greatly that in many cases, I don't
bother doing the scrolling and just bypass the message.

So my view of the best way to post replies is the following:

1. Answers should follow questions, never precede them. That avoids
scrolling down and then back up.

2. Answers should never be way down at the bottom so that one has to
scroll a long way down to find them.

3. If the question being answered is near the top of the original
message, the answer should be posted immediately after it. The rest of
the quoted material can follow the answer, or be deleted if it's not
critical to the message.

4. If the question being answered is near the bottom of the original
message, as much as possible of what precedes it should be deleted
when quoting, so that scrolling to the bottom is minimized.

5. If there are multiple questions being answered, the replies to each
of them should follow each question. That makes it clear which answer
pertains to which question.

6. If sufficient original test is deleted rather than quoted and the
answer is reasonably short, the reply to the question can either
precede the question or follow it. As I said above, I prefer the
answer following the question, but since both will fit on the screen
at the same time, and no scrolling will be required, the difference
between the two styles isn't very important

I personally think that number 6 above is the most important point.
Trimming the material quoted is more important than whether the answer
is top-posted or bottom-posted, because minimizing the scrolling
required to read the message is the most important consideration.
 
If idiots like Twayne would follow proceedings here for a while, they would
realise that I was spoofed for months.

I do not like his stupidy regarding history of myself here, and his
dangerous stupidity in his replies to OPs.

You must also dislike a lot of MVPs here; thay also top post.

And I am not interested in scrolling down into an abyss of useless info to
find a particular reply, posted by a bottom poster like yourself.
 
Those who frown on top-posters outnumber all of the others combined
IMO ;->

My view is exactly the opposite of yours. I think those who frown on
bottom-posters greatly outnumber those who frown on top-posters.
Top-posting has become the norm for enormous numbers of people,
primarily because Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail
all put your cursor at the top of the message when you do a reply.

I much prefer to see bottom-posting with some good editing of quoted
material (like this reply) so that only the part that is being replied
to is quoted, or inline posting without editing.

As do I. That's what I said in my message. Once again, personally I
frown on the practice of top-posting, but not on the people who do it.

And I also frown on the practice of bottom-posting when the reply is
at the bottom of a long untrimmed quote.

So to repeat myself, to me, trimming is much more important than
whether it's top-posting or bottom posting.
