Imagine for a moment the cross section of Windows users that 1) have McAfee running 2) poke around the Windows temp folders and/or run some sort of "cleaner" to "optimize" their system and 3) don't recognize the name "sqlite". I can imagine the exact type of user, peak Dunning-Kruger and utterly insufferable. Even just seeing their e-mails before deleting them would be maddening. I think most people on HN can vividly imagine the sort or remember back when they were that insufferable twat.

I was that person once. I was 12 and couldn't understand why MS-DOS disk maintenance tools shouldn't be used on PC-DOS because obviously repair tools can only fix things
