5 to flame the spell checkers

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"

5 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

6 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what supermarkets are offering discounts on brands of light bulbs, and what customer service they expect in a lightbulb shop

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

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

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

1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

And at least one to suggest that all the old bulb really needed was for the switch to be turned on (something even a FReeper child could do) - shining light on the whole project.

There is NO argument!

Incandescent Good

CFL Bad

LED Cool but needs more work.

Sorry, had to add as a keyword “Fantastic Wok Launch”.
As for Sporkweasel Day, that’s someone else’s holiday idea to put forth, not mine.
