53 to flame the spell checkers

41 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

156 to email the moderators complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

306 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

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

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

Instructions??

REAL Freepers don't need no stinkin' instructions!!!!

72 public-schooled Freepers give up, can't read the thread.

(And 480 Home-schooling Freepers immediately take credit of the thread for homework in science.)

You left out 1 freeper to post an "Ash Alert!"

lol! You posted that one on the original thread. I hadn't thought of Ash and the 'ash alerts' in a long, long time.

1 insane Freeper who notes that the US Supreme Court reached a 6-3 decision [Cantor v. Detroit Edison Co., 428 U.S. 579 (1976)] concerning the exchange of light bulbs.
