    7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

    6 to argue over whether it’s “lightbulb” or “light bulb” …

    another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

    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 light bulb 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

    4 to say “didn’t we go through this already a short time ago?”

    13 to say “do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs”

     You have been on the net too long.    The text should have been of differant sizes and all cap.  Not enough pictures to be deleted or punctuation word replacements used.......Just My Own Humble Opinion...

    Someone, somewhere on some site did sit and write that. The intelligent individual that found some humor, and maybe a little truth in it just "cut and paste." Thanks for sharing and again another smile from a contributor on CycleFish.
