Topic: How many forum members does it take... Posted: October 11 2005 at 11:16 |
to change a light bulb?
Well? how many forum members does it takes 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.

You also forgot:
A ten-page thread discussing whether or not the "Lightbulb" album by Genesis is better overall than the earlier "Lantern" album by Pink Floyd (with Syd) or if it even approaches the genius of the later "Neon" album by Yes.
Oh, and 15 forum members will insist that Thomas Edison be added to the list because he was the father of all light bulbs.

Oh, and then we'd get into discussions about black lights, green lights, northern lights, "bulb lights" (less filling). Ugh.
