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
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
13 to flame the spell checkers
18 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
5 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct
6 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of
their "acceptable use policy"
4 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum
23 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this forum
1 to show everyone how he didn't have to change the bulb but fixed it up
with duct tape & balin' wire and wants to know if he's now qualified for
"Redneck Status"
3 willing to let him have honorary status
15 saying he is disqualified because his fix actually worked and continues
to function and besides nobody was hurt during the repair
1 to ask if the changer was sure the light bulb was full curl
6 jumping up to argue that it was/wasn't full curl and that they're willing
to bet huge sums of money on it.
3 to claim that since they have superior visual skills they don't need those
"damn magnum bulbs"
27 to say the new energy saving bulbs will never replace the old standards
and speculate which models will be discontinued in 5-10 years
1 to ask, "can you kill an elk with a light bulb?"
another one to say, "Yeah, but a heavy bulb penetrates better and is more
likely to make up for poor placement."
8 will insist that the light trajectory from a fixture featuring multiple
60-watt bulbs is flatter than the trajectory of a single big-bore bulb of
the same total wattage.
8 others will insist upon the opposite view, using taylor knock-out values
as evidence.
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
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
14 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
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy
19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "what he said"
4 to say that, "BY GOD lightbulbs are for sissies!" and that in their day
they had to use coal oil lanterns and home made candles
8 to post rolling eyes....Here we go again!!
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
14 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light
bulbs"
20 to wonder why some of these people don't read their owner's manual
instead of asking the whole world where the light bulb is, what type it is,
and how to change it. But they don't want to post such a question.
8 to say that flourescent is far superior to incandescent.
12 to refute that it makes no difference whether one uses incandescent or
flourescent.
3 to state that they "know someone" who was blinded by the use of
incandescents and only an inexperienced person or outright fool would choose
anything other than flourescent.
3 to state that they have tried reading upside down using incandescents and
can still see absolutely no difference between the two.
1 to put his incandescent light bulbs (lamps/lightbulbs) in nothing but
fiberglass swirly colored light fixtures.
6 to condem anyone using grid power, obvious from their reference over which
type to use and demand that everyone switch to eco-friendly candles.
6 to push for the further development of LED clusters
and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again
