Where are the 13 (ok - 9, but with multiple accounts) to tell you that the bulb didn't need to be changed?
And the 15 (ok - the same 9 as before, along with two more) to tell you to replace the bulb with something else?0 -

Shouldn't there be at least one person to tell us all how to make a light bulb out of cauliflower?0
