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 say that they’ve been disappointed in Lightbulb Live for the last 4 years

1 to break the news about the new limited release light bulb

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

13 to say “do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs”
