[RFI] How cost effective -- and safe -- are CFL bulbs anyway?

See the following sampling of user and installer reports:

Note the warning against using them base-up.

To add my own 2 cents' worth: We replaced as many as possible (those not 
on dimmers) of the incandescent bulbs in this house by CFLs when we 
moved in just under 4 years ago. Most of them have had to be replaced 
already.
