I don't know if this has been posted or seen before, but it needs reviewing. It is ever so true.

How many posters does it take to change a lightbulb?

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 demand it be moved to the Lighting section..

2 to argue that it be moved 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 errors made by the flamers..

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..

5 to demand links to the posted information about light bulbs..

7 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs..

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

3 to post about links they found from the URLs 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"..

3 Canadian posters who will complain that they can't get light bulbs in Canada and that therefore it's not fair we should be allowed to discuss light bulbs on the forum

3 posters who will use the argurment... "it's just a light bulb, it's not real...some people just can't separate reality from a light bulb."

and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Pretty funny, and so true in general!

**mmelen** · 02-21-2008, 07:09 PM

That's pretty good, I actually took the time and read all the way through.

You forgot one to urge everyone to switch to compact florescents or LEDs!

And another to argue the benefits of going green by simply using candles ROFL

Anyway - great post - I posted it on vB.org last year sometime and it still has great comedic effect LOL --- My favorite of course: and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. =
