I can't take credit for this, but... (I nearly laughed myself to tears while reading it!)How many message board readers does it take to change the light bulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.

Fourteen 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.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

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

Another six to condemn those six as stupid.

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct
spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six 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.

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL.

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

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

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

Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

Three to tell a funny story about their chickens and a light bulb.

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



And one or two others to pop in just to see if there is anything that they could possibly construe as a personal attack against them... sigh laugh

Ok, let me get this right - You're suggesting that we sit in the dark, scratch our bulbs and ponder the whole thing while we exercise?

(Oh, and we need to add another: One smart-@ss to twist words around, completely obfuscate things and just go for the laugh!)

Well, it's been 1 month and I think it still applies...

Although I am wondering: If I were to use candles for lighting - Would that be more or less environmentally friendly? (I mean, I wouldn't be using all the electricity and stuff, but I'd still be burning things and therefore adding to greenhouse emissions - Right?)

I vote for light bulbs being attached to windmills.
