How many Internet Forum Posters 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
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
53 to flame the spell checkers.
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
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
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
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.
40 posters who don't believe in light bulbs at all and instead post links to pseudo-scientific sites that claim alternate theories of light production.
12 to point out that there is no right to light in the US Constitution.
4 to post that all the tech support for changing light bulbs is being
outsourced to India.
1 post showing a picture of a light bulb and a picture of someone who resembles a light bulb.
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
1 poster that has converted all his light bulbs to florescents, so he very rarely has to change them.
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ
44 to ask what is a "FAQ"
13 to tell you candles should be in all well-prepared households in the event of a lightbulb burnout.
5 postings that say they do not use light bulbs...only candles.
1 to mention the "lite" bulb is made of low-fat cheese.
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"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Tommyrocker · 04-21-2005, 03:50 PM

wheres the one arguing that in no way is the bulb a screw-in, that its a clip-in.
then the one stating that the bulb started off clip-in but due to over-use it has become screw-in?
