Replacing a Light bulb...

[Logan]

Taken from another list but a fun take on a common experience in
internet conversation. All too damned familiar around here...

Q: 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, just to 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"

I thought SilverStars on a MM were supposed to be easy. It required tools.

Lets all meet in chat and talk about it

[Slowpoke]

This is such a farse - it cannot possibly be true since any REAL discussion on light bulbs would have led people to talking about wattage, candle power, incandecsent verses LED versus fluorescent versus halogen. There was no mention of any of these topics. Also was not mentioned anything in related topics, like ballasts, fuses, etc.

so there!

how many 14 yr old girls does it take to change a lightbulb (referring to the 110V house kind...)?


One. And the whole world revolves around her.

[Festus]

How many get suspended or evicted for getting personal about whether its lightbulbs or light bulbs?

[Logan]

Same number as those who dare question my infinite wisdom.
