2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to
condemn those 6 as stupid

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "In"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

This one time I was changing a light bulb, and the freakin bulb CAME OUT of the light bulb base thing. You know, the one the screws into the socket.

It just came out in two pieces, not one piece but TWO. I have the bulb in my hand the base is still in the socket. Junk cheap 5 cent chinese garbage. Back in my day, we had real american lightbulbs that wouldnt break that easily. You could throw them on the ground, step on them, run them over with a tank and drop them from a bomber at 25,000 feet. You know what? It wouldnt break, not once. Good ol' american knowhow.

Now look at them, touch them, or breathe on them and they break. I tell you what, them googily eyed peoples are destroying this country. If FDR was here, he would set this country straight. Yessire.........
