How many forum members 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 move it to the "Serious Discussion and Talk" section

2 to argue then move it to the "Technical" section

1 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 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

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 )

Hey Moonchild,

What about 14 forum members talking about waiting for their boyfriends to change the light bulb and making all kind of excuses such as "sooner or later he will realize how important my light bulb is" or "with his Moon in Cancer he is much happier sitting in the dark"...

...and 3 forum members who really think that their light bulbs are much better and brighter than everyone's else and mention it on any suitable and unsuitable occasion...lol

LOL!
Don't forget about all the discussion on whether or not it's ok to eat lightbulbs and...
If you see one above your head, is it a divine idea from the universe or a hullucination or camera trick!

It takes a villiage to screw up a lightbulb.

There was a professional/amateur audio recording forum I used to visit where this happened all the time practically verbatum to that joke. Too funny. I'm sending this to that forum's mod.

Too funny and it pretty much sums it all up !!!

2 to tell us that we are all stupid for even suggesting the lightbulb needs to be changed

2 to tell us that it is Clinton's fault the lightbulb blew out
