7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
1 to move it to the Lighting section.
2 to argue about it a while, then move it to the Electrical 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 the first 6 as stupid.
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is “lampâ€.
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that “light bulb†is perfectly and politically correct.
19 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group.
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.
