And several hundred to argue over the merits of old and new types of light bulbs, and to complain that the new ones are too big compared to the 'classics'.

Correct and the proverbial discussion by 10 members discussing whether said light bulb is authentic or a high quality fake due to the stamping on it.

Great thread

Hilarious.

Don't forget a few to try to give lightbulb a silly nickname, a few more to disagree and even more who won't change it purely because it now has a silly nickname that buyers and hardware stores now use to refer to it.
