QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard 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 Electrical 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 light bulb 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 URLs 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 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 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. Found this on another forum, though you guys would get a kick out of it, considering... Ed

Hey, wait a minute, sunlight as an option? So, what you are saying is, if we expose the trolls to the sunlight, they will go away? That’s way too simple, and if we employee the sunlight principle, we exclude the Montana globe blowers from their fair share of the bulb market. Besides, we couldn’t get 306 replies on this thread if we actually posted anything that makes sense, nor could we enjoy the possibility of talking non stop to each other, and engage in self serving and personally gratifying verbiage about how we discovered the correct way of packing 10 lbs of crap into a 5 lbs bag, which no one else in the world even considers a possible or worthwhile endeavor.

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Yeah, I know exactly what you mean...we have an ongoing "debate" here, is it a refrigerator, or an icebox? She grew up in the south, and still calls it a refrigerator… Ed
QUOTE: Originally posted by wncrails QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding Ed: Great ! Isuppose she drinks soda too! Unlike us northerners who drink pop. You have an icebox in your refridgerator? Weird....... I don't know how recently you ventured to the South, but we don't drink "soda". Usually it's tea, Coke, coffee or some other beverage with a name. But if you derive refreshment from words that describe sounds then obviously we haven't progressed as far intellectually as the North. [:p] Oh, and the reason they call it an "Icebox" is because you put ice blocks in it to maintain the temperature. A refrigerator on the other hand has a compressor that, when operating thanks to electricity, maintains the temperature automatically so we don't spend all day loading ice blocks. Thus we have more time for other pursuits such as photographing trains and replacing light bulbs. [:D] [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
