How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb........
This was copied from an e-mail sent by a friend. I'm going to post to all the forums I read.
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
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in emails 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 email 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 group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the emails are relevant to this group
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 email URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to email that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to email 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 emails to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to email to the group that they will no longer email 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 emailing questions about light bulbs"
1 group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
Made me laugh hope it makes you smile too.
stay safe everyone

Thank you, dasgud. If asked, I would say this forum is "right on". Most of us don't share opinions very openly:rolleyes: but I think I could put names to many of those categories.

Dasgud: You missed one!

And of course one must add a sufficient number of "self-help" enthusiast posters that will comment that the light bulb will "change" on it's own when it is ready and in its own time.
