How many posters in this Newsgroup does it take to change a lightbulb?



1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.

12 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
light
bulb could have been changed differently.

9 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

6 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light
bulbs.

4 to flame the spell checkers.

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames.

1 and we all know which one, to complain about top-posting.

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6
to
condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.

3 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is
"lamp".

8 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light
bulb" is
perfectly correct.

17 to post that this News Group is not about light bulbs and to please
take
this discussion to a lightbulb forum.

13 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light
bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this NG.

25 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.

6 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

3 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected
URL's.

5 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to
this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

11 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

3 to cross-post replies to twelve other News Groups.

4 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they
cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.

5 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".

1 infrequent visitor to the group to respond to the original post 6
months
from now and start it all over again.
