6 to argue over whether it’s “lightbulb” or “light bulb” …

6 to condemn those 6 as being totally anally-retentive.

2 industry professionals to inform all TPR members that the proper term is really “lamp” & not lightbulb.

27 to post various random URLs where one can see examples of all the different light bulbs.

12 to post to all the TPR members that they will no longer tolerate these posts because they cannot handle this light bulb controversy.

43 to say “Hey Dude, D’oh, Google light bulbs”.

One to demand an adult thread be established to discuss more creative ways the light bulb could have been changed.

As long as it’s not a light bulb at work, if you have an accident you’re not covered by the company insurance. I learnt that when i started working for the police:D

You forgot…

Someone to ask for a dedicated lightbulb forum or even
a private forum for those special lightbulb questions :wink:

& the associated polls :wink:

[/QUOTE]

And 1 that will argue that it should be called a “lamp” and not a “lightbulb” because bulbs are for planting… this is what happens when you work with anally retentive electricians!!!
