1 to state that the author has just signed up, and sorry if this is a basic question, but what is a light bulb?
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb.
16 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.
