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

How many messageboard posters does it take to change a lightbulb?
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
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 anal-retentive
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 lightbulb 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 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
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
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 and one list curmudgeon who queries what all this has to do with Macintosh and threatens to disbar the original poster.

You really captured the essence of DU, didn't you? But you forgot the 3 who would tell everyone that it really doesn't matter all that much in the great scheme of things, that there are people who aren't even lucky enough to have their own light bulbs to change, that we should be grateful for what we have and that we should all just learn to find common ground and get along for the sake of the common goal of getting Shrub out of the WH. And then the 4 who would then tell them to blow it out their ass!

8. you really should be... |
|
spelling out the numbers eg.
5 (five) to post to the group...
and this would work better as a list
and "message board" is two words
and the spacing is screwed up after 36
