    Aren't you forgetting the 2 people who would post to say there was nothing wrong with the old light bulb and that there was no benefit to upgrading to a newer one?

    and what about the 10 who say that the term "light-bulb" is a side effect of the 'Liberal Media Elite"

    and then the 15 who condemn that as reactonary knuckle dragging
