Then you get to answer the next 500 questions that ask
'best registry cleaner', 'what is the best firewall'

Yes, indeed. I wonder how many posters just don't know about Google,
and how many are just too lazy to use it. It's hard to believe anyone
has not at least heard of Google.

What you talking about a Firewall for? Didn't you "READ" my post!!!

Bingo, Boomer! My point exactly.

My many years of work on personal computers (24 in fact) have led me to
believe two things about asking for help:
1) Not all FREE advice is good advice
2) I can learn MORE about my problem by researching it myself than
asking for a "quickie" fix from someone else

I sure hope MY free advice never falls into that first category, and I hope
I never ask for a quickie if I haven't already tried to learn what I need to
know on my own.

That doesn't mean I think we should all pack up and go home <g> but that we
are only one avenue of help. I've seen some extremely complicated issues
discussed to successful resolution on this newsgroup, and I know that some
of those problems might never have been resolved through a Google search, or
even at some local computer shops.

T.T.

As Boomer mentioned, you answer the next 500 "what is the best of"
questions and see if you keep them all straight.
Fine, you want a registry cleaner, only about 1,330 here:

So very true. I do agree.

I'll never forget my first (operator error) computer screw up. That
was before I knew of usenet or even Deja.com. I used the old, old
search engines to find the information and help I needed. By searching
and reading I got my problems fixed quicker than if I had posted to a
news group and waited for a 'someone' to answer.

You might notice that some people get dependent on '24H' and also
become too lazy to do a little search themselves. Those are the ones
that irritate me. I have to search just like they would.

Most answers can be found via Windows Help file, or a good search
engine, Googles archives or posting to the correct newsgroup, if
needed. And much faster, at times.

Like I've mentioned a couple of times, this guy either doesn't know how to
read, or has SERIOUS comprehension problems <g>
