I think you missed off '1 to post a load of spurious, made-up information about a new light bulb that may or may not be coming onto the market soon.'

I also missed off:
1 to claim that they have purchased a light bulb and its expected delivery date is tomorrow, and then never return to the board!

I guess you could also have:
1 to say that he's broken his light bulb and ask where the nearest light bulb service centre is
37 to ask what the latest firmware for their model of light bulb is
