Possibly posted before but here goes anyhow:

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 URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs 
4 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected 
URLs 
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" 
2 to post something that has already been posted
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it 
all over again. .....


And 1 to rubbish lightbulbs and praise the good old candle

Cheers...Steve
