7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

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 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 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

And 1 moderator to move it to the OT section.
-Z-man.

and your point is?

Do we feel better now?

You forgot the dozen or so that will vehemently claim it was all Bush's fault (complete with web addresses to anti-Bush websites displaying supporting arguments) and the subsequent opposing opinions from the right. :D

One ass-clown to rant on a book...oh, nevermind.:rolleyes:

Randy,

Not a dozen, 13 now...

And 4 to quote Bible verse that light bulb users should be put to death. :D

- Skip

what about the 5 that say light bulbs burn out prematurely becuase it is a plot by the mfg for designed obsolesce and that Bush must have some fiscal interest in Phillips and GE!

....and don't forget the handfull that compare lightbulbs to the Nazis.

Me too!

bump (does this make me the lurker?)

you been hangin' out with Speeder again? :D

Hey, you must be talking about some other forum. On Pelican, you end up with links to modified light bulbs, bulbs with flares, whether to "duck" or "spoiler" that bulb. The advantage of earlier air-cooled bulbs vs the newer versions which have obviously lost the spirit, by being made so they cannot be raced without voiding their warrenty. Don't forget the quest for the ultimate "light wait" bulb in which it is wired not to come on for several seconds after you have thrown the switch. Then you have to mention JO's 'Black Bulb' and check out GC and JW's confirmation of the method used to change the bulb. You didn't even get into original paint or how the previous owner screwed up the last bulb change. This thread is useless without pictures!

You forgot to mention how the front-filament-water-cooled lighbulbs aren't really pure & genuine light bulbs. :eek:

so, how do you turbo an n/a light bulb?

Silly...you sell the N/A bulb and buy a turbo...everyone knows that!

you have learned well, grasshopper :D

And one person to complain about the Light bulb Gruppe!
