That sure is the truth, Normand. Someone has us pegged very well.LOL!

Don’t forget:

3 to ask what a light bulb is, cause they are new to home lighting.

7 to boast that their expensive/exclusive light bulbs simply don’t need changing and scoff at the very thought of it all.

22 to boast about how cheaply they can buy light bulbs which leads to at least 11 more that say all light bulbs should be bought from the site sponsors only, regardless of price.

Don’t forget the 127 posts debating whether light bulbs are too expensive and whether the price would be more reasonable if people didn’t abuse the free no-questions-asked lifetime light bulb replacement policy.
