I saw this on the Atari forums......

How many forum members does it take 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 URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URLs.

3 to post about links they found from the URLs 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.

2 to roll their eyes.

1 moderator to lock the thread.

3 to tell him that this is not acceptable and 1 moderator to open it.

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.

 

And let's not forget this one:

1 to post his first and only message talking about the benefits of another specific brand of light bulbs and where they can be purchased

Otherwise a great post.

 

webmaster: true

 

Joe, I think you're slipping, this might just be a repost!

 

Damn, it is a repost. This one dates back 2 years I believe.



:santa:

 

Hey two years is better than two weeks.

 

Shouldn't this be in the Electrical Systems Forum?

 

I was wondering, anyone using Philips lightbulbs at home.

 

I have a few. The only ones I can think of off hand are in the fishtanks. I'm sure there's some more here somewhere. Most of them are GE.

 

I would be wary of F150Europe asking a serious question right now.

How can he think about anything serious when he's giggling so hard about the gas prices over here?

 

Guys, I just found this awesome site. They have every light bulb you can possibly imagine for F150's. Check it out!

Thanks man!

That laugh will help me get survive paying over $2 a gallon next time I get gas.

"I cryed because I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet"

 

you forgot about the 2 that need to call the webmaster a dictator because he wants to move the lightbulb thread to General Discussion....
