14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
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 anal-retentive
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 "Me too"

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

1 guy to make a post about candles

1 guy to make the exact same post about his experiences with light bulbs twice then a third post to apologize for his double post
5 to irrationally blame the light bulb''s failure on a political figure: Hillary Clinton, George Bush etc..
18 to chime in that the whole lightbulb changing issue is a conspiracy, and will lead to One World Domination by the Bildenbergers, Club of Rome, Trilaterals and the 33Degree Masons.
