How many forums members to change a lightbulb.

Universe · 07-07-2005, 05:39 PM

From another forum...

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

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
3 standards zealots to point out that light bulbs have been deprecated in the LB 2.1 spec
1 to call upon everybody to ignore this deprecation
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.

Weren't "mods" those ppl in the 80's that listened to Depeche Mode and The Psychedelic Furs?

Neo · 07-07-2005, 09:07 PM

i thought mods were those dorks in the 60's who rode vespas and had big hairdos?

hags · 07-07-2005, 09:18 PM

how many skaters does it take to change a lightbulb

just 1, but it takes him 100 tries

Nelson · 07-07-2005, 09:31 PM

can't forget these...

2 Members to claim pictures of said lightbulb are photoshopped
1 Original Poster to claim the bulb burns at 120 watts
... and 12 Members to tell him that he should stop using said forums watt measuring device.
1 Member who might as well have died comes back to tell the "n00bs" to "stfu".
4 Members to make jokes about how in communist russia "Lightbulbs screw you..."
6 Members to make comments about Screwing Lightbulb's with Communist Dictators

R.kelly · 07-07-2005, 09:35 PM

the answer is 0. because screwing in a lightbulb would require doing something in real life and not on the internet.
