111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.

These two, especially the moderator one, sound eerily like some forums I know. :eek:
However, in my expert opinion...because I am an industry leader after all....in the industry of BS and forum hopping.....this summed up simulation of forum antics appears to be partially correct.....except # 11 is a bit off in its number tally and if anyone wants to disagree...well.....umm...ok. :D :P
