P.S. you forgot about the part where the forum moderator steps in and locks/poofs, the thread because someone made a claim that brand X bulbs are heavy resin buckets, and Brand B bulbs are sold by an A-HOLE, and how this new A-holes bulbs are going to be bigger and better than everyone elses bulbs period

Wait a minute,,, were talking bulbs here right ??

You forgot the one wise guy who will argue that flourescent tubes are superior, and he wouldn't have a light bulb!

What about the energy saving tree hugger who has never even owned a light bulb, but has sworn off light bulbs forever and only uses candle light. Then finds some left wing off the wall web-sites supporting his claim that BIG OIL is in bed with the light bulb manufacturers...

Wait a minute,, were still talking about bulbs right ??

AND AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL REPLY WITH THE CAPS LOCK ON.

You forgot the most important one by far.........

The 7 members that post the terrific pictures in the uncensored section of the naked women changing light bulbs
