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

 

 

It takes 1 forum member to change the light bulb..

 

BUT...

 

It also takes;

 

1 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

 

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

 

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

 

53 to flame the spell checkers

 

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"

 

... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

 

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

 

156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

 

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

 

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

 

111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

 

306 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

 

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

 

14 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

 

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

 

6 that flame them for not using the Search feature

 

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

 

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

 

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

 

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

 

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

 

143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

 

16 posts of two forum members that are exclusively talking to each other only about lightbulbs and what they did that weekend

 

24 posts of telling them to take it to PM's

 

1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

I would change the bulb whatever way Andrew determines without any questions and the promise that this discussion never occured. biggrin.gif

 

I might also consider writing a short story or perhaps a mini series but Matt sort of nailed it. I cannot help but wonder if there are good bulbs and evil/possessed bulbs - such possibilities are endless smile.gif

 

That was fun Rekd cheers.gif

 

Regards, Jack

You also forgot the CNC Software guys who used to work for resellers and were chickensh!t to post in half the threads because CNC Software might get mad at them...

To ask light bulbs in the first post is the sheer imprudence !!

I am not asking for a light bulb!!! I only want to tweak it to my liking... I have just spent all of the budget on a bulb, yet no directions came with it... Now all of a sudden there is a rumor of a service plan for the light bulb. WTF mad.gif
