The light bulb nostalgia will not end!

This time, it's Mickey Kaus:

I recently bought a compact flourescent bulb, the GE brand recommended by Instapundit. I hate it. It flickers constantly. When it's not flickering it fills the room with a depressive, dulling haze. Maybe this is what happened to Courtney Love! It gives me a headache to look at it. ... I've consoled myself with the thought that I'll replace it with a regular bulb when it burns out. Then I realized it won't burn out for five years. I'm replacing it tomorrow.

Uhm, Mickey...how many bloggers does it take to properly screw in a lightbulb?

In response Glennnnn posts a reader e-mail:

I have a house full of them and never encountered that problem.

Has the guy ever considered how many times he installs a bum incandescent straight from the pack? AT LEAST one of 8, in my experience; and I have installed many more than 8 CFL's without a problem.
