That's my point, there aren't "hundreds". Look, I'm not advocating the
use of registry cleaners and I'm fully aware of their potential for
damage. I agree, there's little or no need for the average user to use
them. I've seen a significant number of believable anecdotes, but I see
FAR more of these hysterical Cassandra warnings than real cases of
damage.
My real problem in this case is this annoying dweeb "Unknown" who
consistently flits in with its stock admonishments about not expressing
opinions, all the while spewing its own hyperbolic FUD.
I say, state the situation, relate your experiences, cite documented
cases. There's no need to exaggerate and spread old wives tales.
