6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another
6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

violation of their "acceptable use policy"

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to passionatlely encourage the use of standards compliant energy saving lightbulbs, so as to avoid compatibility issues when foreigners come into your house... and not to put lightbulbs with tables.

354 to respond with creative use of the word "pedantic".

and 400 to point out that nobody uses those because there's a non-standard lightbulb that everyone prefers because there are more lampshades that look well with it.
