You left out

"1 to take the changing of the light bulb as an insult on his person, his nation and his way of life, and to reply with a post containing lots of capital letters."



Look, if you've got a grudge against the U.S.A . because IT'S THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE F*ING [I]WORLD[/I], why don't you just COME OUT AND F*ING [I]SAY[/I] THAT?!

:D

If more people used long life bulbs you simply wouldn't have so may light bulb threads, its a plain and simple fact, anyone can Google the stats..

You'd also need a couple of posts discussing the pros and cons of LED lighting, cold cathode technology, and other low energy forms of illumination.

Candle users would be scorned as being environmentally irresponsible, 'wax guzlers' if you will.....

Then there are the perennial issues surrounding the Bill Of Lights .

1 to extol the virtues of LED technology.

(That'd be me. I love LED!)

At least 2 to try & hijack the thread into a private chat!:P

And at least One to highlight his point by using too many colours including [brown]non-available[/brown] ones!

Mike.

(waiting for: 1 to point out that's already been covered in the original post & didn't need to be repeated!)

Au contraire Mike, you can now get LED replacements for standard light bulbs, and if you choose to fit them, you wouldn't have to change those old ones out as often.

Had Jeffers and I spun off and dribbled on about using DMX contollers to change lighting then you may have had a point.:P;)

I really think light bulbs should be done away with.

Look at this headline from today's www.cnn.com.

• Watch: Lightbulbs scar girl, force a dim childhood

They are just to dangerous for today's society. What if the terrorists start using them? Then what?




You linked to their homepage but not to a specific article. In fact, there's an article on the homepage that says "Skydivers set world freefall record"!!! :)
Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen! This is the first I heard that it had taken place. (I hadn't stayed up to date on the effort.)
