    -14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post
      corrected URLs.

    -3 to post about links they found from the URLs that
      are relevant to this list which makes light bulbs relevant to this

      all headers and footers, and then add "Me Too."

    -1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.
