Very funny GM. The list seems to be missing the latest trend in messageboard posting where someone will try and hijack the thread by saying something like OSX does a better job of lightbulb changing then Windows does and thus turn the thread into a Microsoft/Bill Gates bashing thread.

One newbie member to post in the dead changing bulb thread to start it over again!

The question is moot............ a skinner wouldn't notice the bulb needs changing, as the monitor provides all the light one needs.
