How many Corvette forum members does it take to change a light bulb?
One 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.
Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
53 to flame the spell checkers.
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"...another six to
condemn those six as ****-retentive.
Two 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.
156 to e-mail the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation
of their "acceptable use policy".
109 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a light bulb group
203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
light bulb group about changing light bulbs should be stopped.
111 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
306 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.
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's.
Three to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too".
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
19 to quote the "Me toos" to say "Me three".
Four to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.
44 to ask what is a "FAQ".
Four to say, "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
143 to say, "Do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs."
One forum lurker to respond to the original post six months from now and start
it all over again...

Actually, I did, but I cannot take credit for this, a friend sent it to me. I thought it hit the nail on the head for what we do here though!

I don't get it...are you insinuating something? Oh, I'll bet you have been hanging out in OT recently!
Bob
PS. Why did you change the bulb? Was it burned out or just did it for something to do?
