    Don't forget one person to make a rediculously long post, twisting the facts to show why his brand of lightbulb is superior to the others.
    First ignoring -- and then later discounting others facts on both brands of lightbulbs, even though they are plenty valid, and researched as well.

    Then decides to ignore the fact alltogether that his brand of lightbulb has a feature in which drops it's wattage level at low light times to save energy, while initially using this as a selling point.

    After which, those who use the other bulbs from other manufacturers, point out the fact that: A. theirs have brighter lights, B. last just as long, and C. consume just abou same amount of energy -- while at the same time running at full brightness all the time.

    At which point, having nothing left really, other than try to mystify, and confuse with marketing genious, The first person, when nobody is caring or listening-- resorts to insulting those that use the other lightbulbs, while pretty much saying that those with the other lightbulbs, haven't had bulbs any better than their old bulb.

    But as a brilliant marketing scheme, much like their bulb, they've made it seem as if theirs is a High Intensity Discharge bulb, when it's really just a oil burning candle.

    My light bulb is faster and more superior to your light bulb. My light bulb has never lost to a blue light bulb. My friend bobby has a yellow light bulb and he upgraded his ballast so his lights up really fast.
