3 for no other reason that to see their pretty signature icons...

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

One to ping several other people to the light bulb problem, only to be chastised by someone who says not to drag him into light bulb issues.

Several to bump the light bulb, eventually breaking it.

Several hundred to condemn light bulbs as only for weak-eyed people, and roughly the same amount condemning the War on Light.

Several hundred believing that light bulbs evolved naturally from an inventive society, and roughly the same amount ridiculing them for being 'inventionists'.

A few people who feel the need to condemn the bulb as not being pure enough of light. They call most others BINOs, Bulbists-in-name-only.
