I bet you already know this one...


Came across this one at another forum. I´ts spot on, is it not? ; D

--------------------

A lesson in Posting:

How many group posters does it take to change a light bulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

4 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

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

3 to flame the spell checkers

4 to correct spelling/grammar flames

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

another 6 to condemn those 6 as pedantic

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

5 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct

1 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of
their "acceptable use policy"

2 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb group

3 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
lightbulb group about changing light bulbs be stopped

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

3 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

2 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

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

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

1 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

4 to ask what is a "FAQ"

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

1 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....

Sorry if I belong in the last described group ; )

You guys are even more funny than the original post...

Huggerray´s comment just kills me everytime. Dead laughing.

Best,
Mike
Runnagarden, that's very funny, i love it, thanks for the laugh. By the way, make sure you treat your lightbulbs and lamp connections with Caig Pro Gold or your system will sound a little dim!
Benie - I know you are just joking, but I am a HUGE fan of blue-lighted hi-fi. Got Lots of 'blue' equipment.....
You are all forgetting one thing. The light has to be BLUE!!!! Blue means Hi Fi.
very very funny. don't forget the 1 to wanna "lock" the post bcuz they feel it has become erronious..
How about a digital lightbulb? Perfect light forever. Then there's the guy who's into SEB's, but I feel you need more than 2 or 3 "watts" to fill the room. And what is the ideal room size for the bulb? If your bulb is too bright you can treat it with a shade. Should you leave the bulb on 24/7 or turn it on/off? This is good stuff, I'm going over to Bulb Asylum and see if there's any more info on this, then I'll search "Enjoy the Light" for some reviews. Thanks for the post Mike.
My favorite (from my business):

Q: How many art directors does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Do we HAVE to use a light bulb here?
I agree with the above poster, go with the oil lamp, it has 'natural warmth' and the light bulb is too bright.
Search the archives, I'm sure you can find more information than anyone could possibly need on this very subject!

Oh, and I second, no third, Touche.

Don't forget the posts about the "giant killer" lightbulb. Too funny, Mike! Thanks.
And one to add a joke that your post brought to mind:

How many Taoist monks does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two.

One to change it. One not to change it.
