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

53 to blame the spell checkers.

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb."

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.

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

1 to tell us he has a team of buyers who can get them at a great price for us

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

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

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 to 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."

Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.

Smug health care professionals; pretense, pomposity and presumptuousness; people who have a disregard for other people's health and safety; being "fenced-in"; arbitrary authority; nonsensical rules; political correctness; stupidity that masquerades as profundity.

Would be at least one to say that their way of changing a light bulb is the only way it can work, that all other methods will lead to premature death unless you can produce a long term study to support your method.

Plus the shill who insists that a 20 watt bulb gives off more light than a 100 watt bulb simply to ensure more 20 watt bulbs are sold!:woot:

And the one who has discovered a great book on Amazon about a new approach to light bulb changing, years ahead of it's time but we will all change light bulbs this way soon.
