The Missabe Road: Safety First
QUOTE: Originally posted by BNSFGP38 Finally, this is the answer to the age old question of "How Many Forum Members does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?" ~1 to change the lightbulb and to post that the lightbulb has been changed. ~14 to share similar experiences of changing lightbulbs and how the lightbulb could have been changed differently. ~7 to caution about the dangers of changing lightbulbs. ~1 to move it to the Lighting section. ~2 to argue to then move it to the Electricals section. ~7 to point out the spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing lightbulbs. ~5 to flame the spell checkers. ~3 to correct the spelling/grammar in these flames. ~6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... ~6 to condemn the previous 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 "lightbulb" is perfectly correct. ~19 to post that this forum is not about lightbulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum. ~11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use lightbulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum. ~36 to debate which method of changing lightbulbs is superior, where to go to buy the best lightbulbs, what brand of lightbulbs work best for this technique, and what brands are faulty. ~7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different lightbulbs. ~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 lightbulbs relevant to this forum. ~13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, just to add "Me too". ~5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the controversy of the lightbulb discussion. ~4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?". ~13 to say "do a Google search on lightbulbs before posting questions about lightbulbs". ~1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

None. The light bulb has to change itself [:D] Take care, Russell All the Way!
