How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

Stolen from and with full credit to the DPreview board.

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 about it a while, then move it to the Electrical 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 the first 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 and politically correct.

19 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group.

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 kinds and brands of 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.

5 people to hotlink to pictures of lightbulbs hosted on geocities.

6 people to complain about dead images.


3 people to tell them to right click the image and copy the URL into another window.

13 to read all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers, images and signatures, and add “I agree”.

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 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.

Enjoy!

I showed this thread to my wife, she stole it and posted it to one of her stamping boards.

I guess you should add:

10 people to steal this thread and post it to another message board.

Cutterpup...being a Californian now, although not liberal, I think we should ask ourselves, " Does the lightbulb really want to change, or need to? Can't society accept it the way it is???? :lol: :lol: Doug
