6 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

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

23 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

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

1 to show everyone how he didn't have to change the bulb but fixed it up with duct tape & balin' wire and wants to know if he's now qualified for "Redneck Status"

3 willing to let him have honorary status

15 saying he is disqualified because his fix actually worked and continues to function and besides nobody was hurt during the repair

1 to ask if the changer was sure the light bulb was full curl

6 jumping up to argue that it was/wasn't full curl and that they're willing to bet huge sums of money on it.

3 to claim that since they have superior visual skills they don't need those "damn magnum bulbs"

27 to say the new energy saving bulbs will never replace the old standards and speculate which models will be discontinued in 5-10 years

1 to ask, "can you kill an elk with a light bulb?"

another one to say, "Yeah, but a heavy bulb penetrates better and is more likely to make up for poor placement."

8 will insist that the light trajectory from a fixture featuring multiple 60-watt bulbs is flatter than the trajectory of a single big-bore bulb of the same total wattage.

8 others will insist upon the opposite view, using taylor knock-out values as evidence.

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

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

14 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

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "what he said"

4 to say that, "BY GOD lightbulbs are for sissies!" and that in their day they had to use coal oil lanterns and home made candles

8 to post rolling eyes....Here we go again!!

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

14 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

20 to wonder why some of these people don't read their owner's manual instead of asking the whole world where the light bulb is, what type it is, and how to change it. But they don't want to post such a question.

8 to say that flourescent is far superior to incandescent.

12 to refute that it makes no difference whether one uses incandescent or flourescent.

3 to state that they "know someone" who was blinded by the use of incandescents and only an inexperienced person or outright fool would choose anything other than flourescent.

3 to state that they have tried reading upside down using incandescents and can still see absolutely no difference between the two.

1 to put his incandescent light bulbs (lamps/lightbulbs) in nothing but fiberglass swirly colored light fixtures.

6 to condem anyone using grid power, obvious from their reference over which type to use and demand that everyone switch to eco-friendly candles.

6 to push for the further development of LED clusters

and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again
