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.

12 to mention that Lightbulb Sun is an album by Porcupine Tree
105 to query whether Porcupine Tree are any good or not
1 person to mention how much better bayonet fit is to screw fit
232 to type after every funny remark
1 to mention the fact that bulbs are not necessarily light
1 Termintor R to end the thread about Lightbulbs

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.
