7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 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
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

I don't remember ever changing any lightbulbs, but i DO remember changing ALL the flourescent light tubes in one of the company's archives back when i was just a "foot soldier". That was fun. Well, maybe not, i think i've embellished the memory quite a bit in order to avoid confronting the awful truth of just how insanely, mind imploding boring it was.......
