    •14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could've been changed differently
    •1 to move it to the Lighting folder
    •2 to argue and then move it to the Electrical folder

    •5 to flame the spell checkers
    •3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
    •6 to argue whether it's a light bulb or lightbulb
    •2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper tern is Lamp
    •15 know it all 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 the discussion to the lightbulb forum

    1 to dig up and post the link to the three year old thread that covered light bulbs as related to light switches and light fixtures and post an emoticon with an exasperated expression suggesting the OP should have spent six hours reviewing 27 pages of responses to the old thread rather than just asking for a simple answer anew.

    1 to point out that you forgot to post about the 5 that will post a reply without even reading the thread.

    "proper *term is Lamp"

    hahahahahahahahaga


    This should be moved to a newly created "Joke of the Day" folder. Or I'm outta here.


    1 to dig up and post the link to the three year old thread that covered light bulbs as related to light switches and light fixtures and post an emoticon with an exasperated expression suggesting the OP should have spent six hours reviewing 27 pages of responses to the old thread rather than just asking for a simple answer anew.

    One to stand on the chair and hold the bulb and 4 to turn the chair !

    1* I just hold the light bulb to the socket and let the whole world revolve around me!

    and 4 to add to what was left out of the first post :D

    And one to reply with a random response about bacon being delicious. Speaking of - I want bacon now!

    That makes me think of the thread where JPSO is killing hogs with BACON preservatives.

    That has nothing to do with lightbulbs, light bulbs, lamps, etc. Let's please try and keep this on topic or I will request this thread be closed and never post here again.

    I'm just thrilled Don has not brought LED's into the conversation. That would take this in the wrong direction. ;)
