I'd say 1980's...300/500W halogen torchieres were all the rage in the 90's...

Maybe I’m going off topic but after years of not having them, I’ve loved having a backup camera and sensors on my current  car. Especially how it alerts me if cars are coming crossways from either direction, particularly when I’m parked next to a large vehicle and can’t see who is coming.

I don’t rely on it, but it definitely helps instill confidence, especially given the anxiety I have at times.

Well that’s good to know.

For me though I’m not the last post, I’ll be in a string of 3 or so replies and mine gets forgotten of them, but I guess sometimes things do get overlooked, and I’ve probably done it myself unintentionally.

But yes I’ve been a “thread killer” many times myself on many forums. 😂

Yep, same here!

I've noticed that sometimes I seem to be the "Thread Killer" ! I'll respond to a popular thread and afterwards no one else replies !!

Hmm, I’ve started to wonder if I’ve been blocked on the message boards, because I’ve noticed my post will be the only one in a thread that the original poster doesn’t respond to. Kind of odd, and I’ve seen this multiple times.

I've noticed that too...usually it's due to being the last commenter...no big deal.

Seems like so much mercury was released.

Well I can assure you there is no block of any kind on your account, and in any event I can't think of one that would have the effect you describe, so I don't know

My restore currently has a lot of GE, Philips Alto and Satco T12 fluorescent tubes. Looking at the label on the GE box of tubes, they were probably all donated by Lowe’s.
