How Many Forum Members Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?

R

Guest
From a dear friend:



How many forum members does it takes 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 "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 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.

The light bulb does not get changed here. IMO because some list members say "we can't change this light bulb here, a company may look bad or we can't allow that line of conversion" or they say "lets take this light bulb off the list so we can change it".

The list must start out with respect for different opinions. Opinions should be treated equally and then supported or not supported based on facts.
 
Only one thing for certain

No replies from Amish posters. I tried to find out why, but I couldn't find their phone numbers.

"elizabeth-your analaogy over differences of opinion is hilarious."


Oh, I can't take credit for this. I just posted it. I may have wit, but humor is far from me. :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I miss the Cleveland team much sometimes. What great days they were!

Re:

I am a BIG FAN of Todd.

Goes way way way back to a little production room, a financial investment spot, and some talk about youth.

Wow! How wild this road has been!

I wondered about that. I almost went to the Norris Auto Mall the last time you were there to ask whether or not you were toddohio. Now I know.
 
Which gives us...

188 people, assuming each is a different person. Or as Danny Clayton would call it, Math in Public.

If some of them are the same person... you do the math.<P ID="signature">______________
