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 and politically correct.

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

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

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

Way too funny mate. Thanks for that. I needed it
 
And another 10 to say that only black light bulbs count and you would benefit from taking a course in Lightbulb Fundamental.
 
and 345 to blame it on the leading lightbulb-screwing training agency

plus 1,346 to blame it on the OTHER agencies, the Government, and each other

and 3 to say you can learn on your own better and you don't
need a lightbulb-screwing instructor

and 1 to wonder what happened to the 3 guys who said you don't need
a lightbulb-screwing instructor, and how come they are not around anymore
