    Okay, give this a read.

    From the start my problem with you is that you said Edison either stole or bought his idea. There's no evidence of that and I had to waste a lot of time to prove that.

    I agree with you that others before Edison contributed. But that's true of most inventions.

    Your article said Warren de La Rue first solved the problem of early burnout by using Platinum. That's great but we'd all still be sitting in the dark if Edison didn't come along because Platinum is one of the rarest metals on Earth... occurring at a concentration of only 0.005 ppm in Earth's crust.

    So, we agree Edison did not invent the light. Finally

    Listen carefully. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I had to repeat this. Mr. Volta is the first person that demonstrated that by applying voltage to a thin wire that you can produce incandescent light. That discovery was made by accident as he was trying to make a battery.

    Every man after that was in a race to come up with the first lightbulb based off Volta's discovery and Edison was the one who cracked the code of a practical and affordable solution. If not for Edison, you'd be sitting in the dark.

    The reason that you refuse to name an actual inventor is that it exposes your agenda...whatever that is.

    You are a hoot! Lol. You obviously didn't read the article. It clearly states that De La Rue created along lasting light bulb. If you refuse to accept that I can't help you. Post whatever you want, I will not be responding anymore.

    Can you read? I clearly addressed De La Rue a couple of posts back. He used platinum. That's one of the rarest metals on planet Earth. You'd be sitting in the dark if it all ended with De La Rue.

    Anyway, learn to pay better attention and READ what I say. Don't make me waste my time, please. Thank you.

    By the way, you owe my an apology as I most certainly addressed De La Rue. It doesn't have to be a fancy apology. Just say that you were wrong and that you're sorry. That will suffice.
