Two to tell OP to use the search feature because someone posted about changing lightbulbs two years ago.
Two Mods to tell everyone to stop using higher wattage bulbs because it's sucking up all the energy of the boards.
Four to tell everyone to turn the damn lights off because they're annoying.
Ten to defend their right to keep the lights on because they're pretty.
Three of those ten to point out that there are a lot of people who haven't turned their lights off!
One Mod to limit everyone to one lightbulb per post.
Twenty to thank the Mod for a brilliant idea.
Four to tell the twenty that all the thank you's are not necessary and to STFU.
Six to start new topics on why or why not the changes to the light bulb policy is actually working.
