Very good.

But, given the nature of these particular forums, you forgot the DIY group that would want to make their own light bulbs.

 

[bradsbrew]

You forgot to add

1 Truman to ask a question about what a light bulb is and if there would be a cheaper source of light that he could build. :lol:

And the people that think it might be a good idea to give BIALB a go.

 

[fraser_john]

Then 25 new posters to post seperate my light bulb is not bubbling threads, whilst the previous posts are still at the top of the recent posts list.

Then 1 poster to threaten to kill some kittens if he sees another light bulb post.

Then 37 people to misquote the kitten post, and turn it into kittens being stuck inside lightbulbs.

Flame war erupts over wether it is better to change the light bulb with 3 ladders or 1 ladder and a safety harness.

I'm not here to rub salt in the wound or whatever, but that, in the broader context of the thematic thorns-in-the-side of this forum, is an epic 'fail' (I am but one of many who are part of the club). Kudos for taking it so well! :beer:
