10 debating the legality of changing your own light bulbs
5 posts containing gory pictures showing digital damage due changing light bulbs incorrectly
255 commiseration posts in response to the above 5 posts
1 post in response saying "HAHA! Serves you right for not hiring an electrician to change it."
1 post referring to the last poster as an idiot.
50 posts between the last two posters, having a mutual abuse session.

That's why I love these forums. Such a diversity of outputs from a single input.

and one from me accusing you all of being too nanny state/politically correct and the only way to change a light globe is with the power ON! (and wet hands..)
Then a whole hundred more with pics of pretty timber framed light globe shades and fabulous hand carved ceiling roses, which in turn gives rise to the wwf cieling rose challenge.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Don't forget the post from the Luddite asking "What's a light bulb?"
.
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
