How many forum members does it take...?

Fayette, IA(Zone 4b)

Got this today in an e-mail from a pal on another forum. Of course this isn't us!

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
onths from now and start it all over again.
