This came from another list BUT it is so true :-) <br /> <br /> <br /> Subject: HOW MANY LIST MEMBERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB? <br /> <br /> One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been <br /> changed. <br /> <br /> Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how <br /> the light bulb could have been changed differently. <br /> <br /> Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. <br /> <br /> Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about <br /> changing light bulbs. <br /> <br /> Five to flame the spell checkers. <br /> <br /> Three to correct spelling/grammar flames. <br /> <br /> Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... <br /> another six to condemn those six as stupid. <br /> <br /> Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the <br /> correct spelling. <br /> <br /> Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to <br />please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum. <br /> <br /> Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light <br /> bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group. <br /> <br /> Thirty six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, <br /> where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work <br /> best for this technique and what brands are faulty. <br /> <br /> Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light <br /> bulbs. <br /> <br /> Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the <br /> corrected URL. <br /> <br /> Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant <br /> to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group. <br /> <br /> Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety <br /> including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too". <br /> <br /> Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they <br /> cannot handle the light bulb controversy. <br /> <br /> Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" <br /> <br /> Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting <br /> questions about light bulbs" <br /> <br />Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb. <br /> <br /> AND <br /> <br />One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and <br />start it all over again. <br />
