Thank you, dasgud. If asked, I would say this forum is "right on". Most of us don't share opinions very openly:rolleyes: but I think I could put names to many of those categories.

Now,,, who would that be???

Dasgud: You missed one!

1 to object that light bulb was not 'made in the USA'!

Take it as a good natured poke A1!

Do we really want to change the light bulb, or just stay in the dark?

turn out the lights the partys over

And of course one must add a sufficient number of "self-help" enthusiast posters that will comment that the light bulb will "change" on it's own when it is ready and in its own time.

Don't forget about the guy who chimes in and reminds that if it was an incandescent light bulb it is mute anyway since the government is outlawing them.
