that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

please take this discussion to a lightbulb group

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic

post the corrected URL's

Good one!

Oh yeah... how about lightbulb enhancement?

Guess they mean fluorescent tubes




PS- I noticed your anti-spamming scheme in your address. I'm told that
some new Internet engines are now tuned to delete SPAM or NOSPAM.

Well, that's the only original part. The rest has been floating around
the net for years and pops up here every now and then. At least you
didn't claim you wrote it.

As a reminder to some other posters. Trim postings. One shouldn't quote a
long message with a one sentence response.

Oh, yeah. This is subject not germane to RAM.

Lovely.


But you are forgetting the rest

4 who who show that the light globes are made for black eyes as they are
too strong for white people. It is another way the CIA and president
Bush are trying to subvert the white race.

12 who will shout them down and call them kooks.

10 who will agree that they are kooks.

7 who will discuss the history of the light globes.

13 who will discuss the military implications if Nazi Germany and/or the
communist had an efficient light globe.

2 who point out the globes that Saddam used were too weak.
