For those of us who read and stalk upon message boards - this one is for you!!!
How many group posters does it take 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.
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about
changing light bulbs.
53 to flame the spell checkers.
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb".
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.
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.
156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they
are in violation of their "acceptable use policy".
109 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and
to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group.
203 to demand that cross-posting to hardware forum,
off-topic forum, and lightbulb group about changing light bulbs be
stopped.
111 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all
use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group.
306 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.
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different
light bulbs.
14 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
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety
including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post
because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ
44 to ask "What is a "FAQ" ?"
4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time
ago?"
143 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....
