While I find merit and interest in a discussion of US costs of CFL's,
seeing Vitaliy and Bob discussing what is and isn't a government
subsidy immediately rings alarm bells.

As much as I hate to see such interesting discussions termianted, may
I please suggest that this stop now - as B&V, regardless of why, have
shown a mutual inability to maintain such discussions stably. This is
a no blame Y'all die situation, shoot everyone and move on, take no
prisoners, makes life much simpler, nothing to see here, move along
please, thankyou.

Offlist abuse is welcomed :-)

FWIW: I don't think NZ CFLs are subsidised. Prices have risen
substantially from a year or so ago.

In some areas carbon credits may be able to be claimed for CFL
introduction at levels which substantially exceed the cost of the
bulb. I can comment further on that, but it's probably most unwise to
do so onlist. Maybe in OT?
