Changing light bulbs

Thanks to Dave (MIB) for posting this on the ac/dc NG so I could c&p it here:

How many newsgroup 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.

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 months from now and start
it all over again.
