 This thread did not mention AH Supply.  IT was about EZ-Ballast CF
 lights, as mentioned in the subject line, and these are lights I was
 looking at in the Dr's Foster & SMith catalog, as mentioned in the
 first letter in this thread.  I asked a list of questions, one of
 which was about the difference between straight and aquare pin bulbs,
 and how common they were.
    Wayne was kind enough to reply to my questions,(Thank you Wayne!)
 in a helpful, non-proselytizing manner.
     So, hopefully this will help straighten that misunderstanding
 out.
