Yes, that is what I am asking you to do. You're the one that said it has lasted so long that it is still working. So, how long are we talking here. I can't believe you are so stuck on one insignificant example as a reason why people shouldn't be given an incentive to do the right thing.

You really can't spend $1.64 for a light bulb? Are we really arguing over that? Tell you what, send me your paypal account id and I will pay pal you the $2. Then we can move onto something important.
