* 53 to flame the spell checkers
* 41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

* 14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
* 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
* 33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

Remember to use energy saving long life lightbulbs, they are a bit more expensive but last 3 times as long as a normal lightbulb. When changing a lightbulb be sure that the lamp is turned off to avoid possible risk of getting electric shock.
