Hello Chaps, Smile

I received the following text in an email today and I was rolling about the floor laughing so much that I thought I would share it with you all!

Don't worry, I recognised one or two similarities to myself in there as well, which made it even funnier! Laughing

Enjoy!

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

10 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"

18 who trip over each other in their rush to say "repost!"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Finally, (this bit wasn't in the email) Your comments would be greatly appreciated! lol!
