 Re: It's just a Joke!
How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?
1 clueless individual to start the thread.
14 to talk of similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb can be changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
1 to move it to the Lighting thread.
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals thread.
7 to point out spelling and grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
5 to contradict the spell and grammar checkers.
3 to correct the spelling and grammar contradictors.
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, 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 discuss this already on a previous thread?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before touching them or posting questions about them".
Finally, a week later,
1 thread starter changes the light bulb and posts that the light bulb has been successfully changed and thanks everybody for their help.
Oh, and not forgetting,
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months later and start it off all over again. |
