Prove it. Cite. You made the emotional decision that people don't flock to the savings because of shape and stated it as fact. You do that a lot.

Now, there are other reasons not to use those bulbs. One is, as I stated before, the inconpatability with dimmers. UT mentioned it too.
Another is the lamps with multi level switches or touch switches.
Also, the color of the light the bulbs emit is harsher.
I understand you don't think any of those reasons are rational, nor should my choice be based on anything but energy/money savings. And you think i should get all in a lather over a lightbulb that I can operate for 8 hours every day for what, 20 bucks a year?

Don't lecture me on how "if everybody". If everybody wore the same clothes and drove the same car....no, took the same bus...yada yada yada. I'm not everybody. Sometimes I don't even feel like being a part of everybody.

I'll buy bulbs based on the criteria I choose and you Vulcans can do what you want.
