 another six to condemn those six as stupid.

 Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the

 Nineteen to post that this group is not about ICOM light bulbs and to
 please  take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

 Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use ICOM light
 bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

 Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different ICOM light
 bulbs.

 Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
 corrected URL.

 Three to post about links they found from! the URLs that are relevant

 Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety
 including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

 Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they
