How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?


1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs"
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to
condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy
the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique
and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected
URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.

And 1 to point out that lightbulbs are now obsolete, therefore the question
in the first place
is irrelevant.

That is funny - like my ever increasing anonymous list of 60+ "most
likely to suggest..." list.

 

[Only teasing!]

1 Unknown to make a pithy, sarcastic, unproductive comment

1 Twayne to point out that light bulbs these days are vastly different to
old ones and registry-cleaners can be used on them with no danger at all.
Ever. Adverts say so. And if you disagree you're closed-minded

1 Gerry asking for a copy of Event Viewer ouptut and defragmentation log.

1 Real Truth MVP telling you to download his/her pirated lightbulb-changing
utility.

8 people crying foul about PC Butts

1 PC Butts sock puppet crying foul about the above 8 people

1 PC Butts post impersonating one of the people in his hate list saying OP
should reformat their wiring. And leaving his hate list in his signature.
