How many forum board 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
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 "light bulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6
to condemn
those 6 as idiots
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 light bulb 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
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"
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
1 to get mad and make a personal attack.
1 to tell the attacker that he has a PM.
3 to attack the one that attacked.
6 to support the one who got attacked and tell him how cool he handled
it.
6 peacekeepers to tell both parties to settle down and get over it.
2 posts of apology from everyone who attacked anyone.
6 congratulations to those who apologized.
1 new pot stirrer to start some different crap about the light bulb or
perhaps something totally unrelated cause he is still mad at somebody
from three months ago.
3 to suggest the new pot stirrer be banned.
1 personal attack on the PS (pot stirrer).
Then the PS attack backs and the PM messages and it all starts all over
again with no regard whatsoever for the light bulb which is still being
pointed out by dozens does not really belong here anyway
... and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 12 months from
now and start it all over again
