How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

Post by Mix » 28 November 04 3:43 pm

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

LOL.

You forgot those that rarely post but read everything in the forum and wonder how it could be possible to waste so much time on a worthless topic.

The Original post was Fantastic! As was the first response!

As for those posts that followed -You have too much time on your hands!
To quote Captain Jack Sparrow, "You need to find yourself a girl, mate".
Better still, marry one, have two more, & your weekly free time can all be measured with the second hand of a clock.
How true the original post is!
