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

    by Blackbird_Pilot » Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:05 pm

    How many forum members does it take 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
    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?"
    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.

    Some of you may have heard this before. Good for a little laugh.

    I used to work in the industry and know many people that still do. The proper term is "light source". Sheesh..get it right. :?

    Look guys, this really isn't the correct place to be discussing this. Why can't this thread be moved to a "Light Bulb" forum. Mods ??? :lol:

    It seems like something is missing... I would add:

    2 to use the fact that the post is heavily viewed to post about tires, radiator guards, or camping gear.

    1 to join the forum in order to respond about camping gear

    46 to blast the newbie

    1 moderator to delete 27 of the newbie blasting posts

    27 to blast the moderator

    1 newbie to apologize

    46 to welcome the newbie home!
