Hi Jim,

Is comparing notes about CFL's and their RFI effects somehow outside the realm of RFI? Is my asking about lists of comparison a waste of time? I was interested and still interested in the seeming discrepancy of some people getting RFI from the lamps.

And while longevity isn't RFI, it does factor into CFL bulbs. Even more, there might be a connection between the two. Some times it is hard to have a discussion without a bit of digression. In fact, I think th elite digressions often lead to the answer to a problem.  I was a moderator for a group where we had another moderator who would reject anything that got off subject in the least, or anything he didn't like for that matter. That did a much better job of driving people away than letting people post, and the criteria was civil behavior and at least related to the topic at hand.

The really great thing is that if we don't want to read about something, we can filter the subject or poster to the trash. 

We can filter headers by CFL. That should do it. Of course then we won't get any posts about the Canadian Football League either! ;^)
