2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp."


15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct. 

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a light bulb forum. 

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum. 

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy
the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique
and what brands are faulty. 

7 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs. 

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected
URLs. 

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this
group, which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

headers and signatures, and add "me too." 

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
