Thanks for illuminating us on the subject.

Your post puts board participation in a whole new light.

By the way: Are you amped up on something? Watt ever made you turn on to this topic?

Is it a screw fit of bayonet fit...

[CorvairJim]

Well, I have to agree with everything, up to a point... George W. was certainly a brighter bulb than a couple of other recent occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that I could mention, except that I'd probably get warned about it!!

(On the other hand, If George W. can be mentioned without sanction, I don't see why it should make any difference if I mentioned William J. or Barack H. by name... )

You forgot to mention that someone would find a way to relate the lightbulb discussion to Nazis and Godwin the whole thread.

Also need:

Someone to comment that the plural of "URL" is URLs, not URL's.

[JunkPile]

That is some funny stuff right there. We need more funny stuff.

Ain't it funny how the funny stuff seems to be the truth about things

.....and to make it more environmentally relevant, or for anyone conscious of his (minus 10 points...not PC) carbon footprint, the merits of changing to the 'bulb-lite' could be brought in......
