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

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

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the "Serious Discussion and Talk" section

2 to argue then move it to the "Technical" section

1 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 light bulb 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?"

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

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


Of course, this would never happen here!

I would be guilty of that.

Excellent. I often wonder who has the spare time to dream these things up. They are so good.

Even though I consider myself still a greenhorn here, I've seen this happen several times already in the short time I've been a member. But heck, that's what makes this forum so interesting!

Someone on my Boxer forum posted it- she got it from another dog forum

)

Just nobody go look up my old posts, okay?

That is great! Spot on! Not so much here, but I do see it a lot on another forum that I frequent. My hubby hates it when I read him stuff off the forums but I just couldn't keep from reading some of them to him. (I think I saw his eyes roll back in his head! lol!)
