No, no Tom, you have it all wrong. Bob Lusk owns the lamp and pays the electricity bill.
It's the moderators job to change the light bulb and make sure they are the correct wattage. Changing the light bulbs is a significant responsibility. After all some bulbs burn a little brighter than others so the moderators constantly have to look at each and every bulb and ask themselves, is this bulb bright enough for this room?
And then you have guys like Brettski, that go around and changes the white bulbs to red bulbs. So they really, really have to watch him.
But it ain't all bad. Sometimes a guy like Dwight will make a post about a lamp that he built in his shop. He'll take a milk carton, a piece of string and an apple core and builds this really incredible lamp. It has perfect wiring and could withstand a tornado.
But then again you'll have guys like Yolk that says he loves white bulbs and blue bulbs but he hates green bulbs. I mean who on earth could hate green bulbs? That is just unnatural.
And then really, really, intelligent people that love green bulbs are put on the defensive and have to form an organization to protect green bulbs from slander and abuse. Like the green bulb lovers have nothing better to do than chase around heretics!
And then someone will post a question. Something like, "I have this chandelier that has sockets for six bulbs, but I'm thinking about wiring in 11 extra bulbs, what I do you think?
And the expert will answer, "It depends." What to you want to do with this light? Ultimately, do you want two or three huge flood lights or would you rather have 17 L.E.D.s? Do you want soft natural light or some really bright light. Have you ever thought about blue light or yellow light or even purple light? Do you want the light to come on automatically or are you going to manually use a switch? Tells us more about your chandelier.
And then someone posts and says "do you have any photos of your chandelier? We like chandelier photos!
And then someone else makes a post and says "I'm can't believe you suggested the use of yellow and purple lights. Yellow lights don't cast any where near enough illumination for this room. You should only use Silvania Blue Dot bulbs in this pond.
And then another person will write "Speaking of monkeys, did you watch that special on the Discovery channel last night? It was all about Spider Monkeys."
So to answer your question Tom, no, Bob doesn't change the bulbs himself.
