> 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.
> Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
> Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
> corrected URL.  Three to post about links they found from the URLs that
> are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this
> group.  Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety

> the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the
> light bulb controversy.  Four to say "didn't we go through this already
> a short time ago?"  Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs
> before posting questions about light bulbs"  Thirteen to say that the
> archives are full of light-bulb posts. Three to tell a funny story about
> their cat and a light bulb.  And finally, one group lurker to respond to
> the original post six months from now and start it all over again.
