Got this from my brother this morning and thought I'd pass it along:

Q: How many subscribers to [insert any forum here] group does it take to change a light bulb?

Answers:

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

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

another 6 to condemn those 6 as ****-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

1 anonymous poster to talk **** about everyone and everything.

2 to post reasons why the light bulb burning out is the result of a government conspiracy.

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

43 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs"

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

 

You forgot about the guy with the goat.

 

My bad. The goat guy should definately have been included.

 

Yeah... you gotta watch out for those guys with goats... that's all I'm going to say about that...

 

What kind of list is this?

1. There are no periods at the end of your sentences.
2. You are supposed to spell out numbers less than "10." i.e. "one" lurker.
3. You haven't put numbers or bullets in front of your list items.

Sheesh! Do a google search on the proper way to make a list so you know for next time.

You suck, why do you have to come in here bashing everyone like this! You freakin' stain, go to you la la place and annoy some fairy like Jackson, you POS!!

 

Didn't some just post this? This sort of duplication of lists has got to be a government conspiracy.

And Google should be capitalized. If you are going to flame someone, at least capitalize proper nouns!

I am not going to post again because of such a stupid controversy.

This is a list by the way:

although I am not sure what an FAQ is.

Hahaha. Man I'm glad some people have a sense of humor

There were a few tense minutes that I honestly thought it was going to go right over someone's head

You forgot about the guy that always comes along and posts "ROFLMAO". LMAO!

 

 

ROFLMAO

 

You know you should really be careful posting this kind of thing. You could start quite a flame war. You know, speaking of flame wars, I once made a similar post.............

 

I just want to condemn the last six posters as ****-retentive.

(whew that was close! I had to go back and make sure I wasn't one of the last six posters )

 

I don't see anything about 1 Supporting Vendor popping up to show the 'FACTS' and another 50 users to bash the SV.

 

LOL!
