    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.

    Hmmm -- I'm not sure it would go any further than this before Major "I hate the lounge" Attitude would come and close the thread down.






    Hee, Hee -- just joking there, MA! -- insert smiley face here

    (still can't add any smilies while I'm posting in Mozilla Firefox -- I can if I'm here in IE -- weird -- but that's another thread)

    2 to hijack the thread and start a real time chat about where's the best place to buy light bulbs.

    1 to respond to a previous post with a sig that reads "Go 'Skins!" and start a totally off-topic discussion of pro football.

    No, no, no. I can't have that, those are no nits here and shouldn't it be "nit Picker" two words. :p :D Or are these special NASA glowing nits that light up on Mars...

    Hmm, Microsoft Word likes both forms including hypehnated.

    I've been OK just struggling with back pain, probably due to poor posture at the computer or something. How is Florida after the hurricanes? Hope you survived without much damage.

    It's a pity the state got trashed. I did enjoy my time working there and driving through the torrential rain to Merritt Island Mall during one tropical storm in the early 1980's.

    Back's getting better, wife's bought some anti-inflamatory lotion to rub in. Apart from that, work and life trundle on in their merry way.

    And at least 1 two say:

    Is this light bulb something you installed yourself? If not, run HijackThis and have it fix it. Then boot in safe mode and delete all light bulb related files. :D

    Wenchie I R teh brat

    And one wenchie. Because there only IS one wenchie, and she doesnt care about lightbulbs but she wanted to remind you of her omnipotence so you can stop staring at lightbulbs like slack jawed drooling half-wits, because its just one more thing to make you go blind, and worship her accordingly.

    Yea 51 days. :rolleyes: We actually came threw quite well, seeing as the folks across the street lost most of thier roof & had some major flooding. We didn't lose one shingle. It's the aftermath that kills ya. We've had power 9 of the last 28 days. Yea Yea I know people used to live thataway, but that's "used" to. Living in what's supposed to the the greatest most powerful country in the world & I can't have power, when the house across the street has had power for the past 5 days now? :rolleyes:

    P.S.

    Sorry for the hijack :(
