Forum members...

This struck me as soooo accurate, I could not resist sharing it....

How many forum members 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
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 search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 to hijack the thread and ask how to change the horn
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.


Which one are YOU....

You forgot the ones who prefer to NOT change the lightbulb and stay in the dark.

ROFL Diane, reading that reminded me about how "wonderful" things are since the internet and e-mail are in common use. I happens like in your post everyday at work!

interesting

[spielberg]

whatever happened to zoeboy?

[burper]

its' like a game of zoom-schwartz!

for the record, zoeboy was last seen being made love to by don:

I see a very creative post by zoeboy, and a lame attempt by PortWine to pass off his support of a person who drops, and drops a tourneybot match, as sarcasm.

Kudos to zoeboy.

Get real, Port.

This was in the thread that started with a suspicion of don's:

Hi Webrunner.

I suspect this is going to be my last post here

...that lasted less than 30 days. The following month don posted 18 times.
Well, there are tearful goodbyes and then there are tearfilled goodbyes.
