There is excellent advice given on this site and in numerous cases no one comes back on to say thank you or whether it worked or not. Not only is this so rude, it doesn't help others who are seeking help as we don't know if the advise given was the answer or not.

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"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn’t we go through this already a short time ago?"
