(32,093 posts)One to screw in the bulb, and five to complain about how much better the old bulb was. Unless they are the Romneys, Addlesons, Ricketts, etg., in which case they get the help to screw in the bulb.

One troll to blame Obama for the burnout of the previous bulb because of his War on Incandescents.
35 DUers to complain within the first thirty seconds about how dark it is in here.
One DUer to post a poll (with a completely unrelated agenda) about the wattage of the new bulb.
One DUer to alert on the bulb because the burnout was disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
Three DUers to clamor to serve on the jury, only to find that they have clicked the link too late and that the light bulb jury has already been seated.
Three DUers to vote that they see nothing wrong with the light bulb's behavior and to let it stand.
Three DUers to vote to hide the bulb -- no explanation given.
