And 1 to start a new thread:

"Should you change a light bulb without an AAD?"

which will start a whole new debate if changing the lightbulb was just too risky to start with where

47 people will post that they used to change the bulbs without AADs in the olden days

32 will say it is too risky to change bulbs

and 54 will say they would never would change a bulb without one...
