How many message board members does it takes to change a light bulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb", another six to condemn those six as stupid.

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and there fore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six 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

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL.

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

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

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

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

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

Three to tell a funny story about their show dog and a light bulb.

AND

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

Love it. Very funny. Thanks for sharing. Isn't it so true though. Give or take some numbers though and the topic. You have made my evening. Thanks again.

[Legend_S]

LOL Oh my gosh that was hillarious, that was a good one man, thanks for sharing that one.

[that_L_do_pig]

yeah, I don't spamalot but that one had me in stitches!

[superman436]

That was really funny, but I think a few people were missed...

... Five to post that they have never seen or touched a lightbulb in their life so they can't help you but think it's a good idea to change one...

People always post responces to questions that pretty much say "I don't know", it's drives me nuts! Just posting to post.

[RankoAnime]

That was pretty funny! I'm not necessarily the "lurker", but I always seem to come to forums later than everyone else and have a comment about a topic that has gotten old.

That is true, but I think vf is good about putting stops to some of the "lightbulb changers"-don't ya think?!!

[sorcerormickey]

Seems like it takes a whole army to change one stinkining light bulb. I would be one of the Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling.

LOL I love it
