That's an off-topic personal attack, and it's completely untrue.

You're wasting bandwidth.

Posting two ranting and raving articles complaining about 1 (one) line or so in 
an earlier article, just because you personally wouldn't want to know that, 
that's a total waste of the reader's time.

Disregarding the negative emotional adjectives you add everywhere, it's a good 
heuristic to post what you would want to know.

I would want to know that a service is started, that it's designed for net based 
administration by Microsoft, and that so it might constitute a security risk.

And so I added that information, each point of which is relevant. If you don't 
want to know about the "probably" little thing you can just skim over it. If 
you're unable to do that then something's wrong with you.

That an off-topic personal attack, and it's completely untrue.

Another poster (not me) has described you in an article here as a sockpuppet 
(false identity being in reality another poster here) and a troll; I believe at 
least the troll bit.

It would reduce the noise level a bit if you stopped contributing noise like above.
