   With the question I asked ?    I seem to be regarded as a noob, one who   
   doesn't even know what to ask.

   A game ?  A *game* ?!   
      
   Trying to to make you guys understand that what I'm asking is what I need to   
   know - besides again-and-again mentioning that the I've already considered   
   work-arounds and made my choice in that regard but that I do not want to use   
   a work-around ?   
      
   To see all my attempts to do so being ignored ?   
      
   /That/ game ?   
      
   You *got* to be kidding. :-((

   Thats an old riddle. The answer is : pure coincidence. :-)   
      
   Unless the "office light bulb" you're talking about is your own mind, you   
   ate to little this morning causing a glucose deficiency and, while trying to   
   think of a number, you zoned/passed out.  :-p   
      
   ... or should I have responded with "You say that, but what you /actually/   
   want to know is how much such a lightbulb costs".  But for that I /ofcourse/   
   need to know who your power company is.
