Sound familiar? A joke for the board

Q: How many listmembers does it take to change a lightbulb?


A: One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.


Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how
the light bulb could have been changed differently.


Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.


Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing
light bulbs.


Three to correct spelling/grammar errors.


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


Another six to condemn those six as stupid.


Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the
correct spelling.


Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please
take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.


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


Thirty six 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.


Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light
bulbs.


Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL.


Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to
this group, which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.


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


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


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


Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting
questions about light bulbs."


Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.

[Burlesquebabe]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 9:54pm

Disturbingly true.

[cturtle]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 9:57pm

at least one to complain that the post about the lightbulb is a copyright infringement.

and one to claim changing lightbulbs is homophobic.

[Aigoo]

Seven to whine about the size of the lightbulb thread and its presence at the top of page one, ignorant to the fact that they are contributing to those conditions.

[Broadway_Baby]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:19pm

1 to join the thread, tYpE Lyk THiS, and ask "I know this sounds stupid, but what's a lightbulb?"

Don't forget one to totally miss the point of the thread and say something like, "Just because you don't like light bulbs doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them. I had once a long time ago and it was fine."

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:38pm

Light bulbs are good.

[Overthemoon6]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:39pm

And one to say "Not another Lightbulb thread!"

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:41pm

"Please check the FAQ before posting. There's a whole section on light bulbs."

[YessicaB]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:42pm

Over the moon, no it has to be at least 15 complaining that there is another thread about lightbulbs, and then condeming everyone who participated (without mocking the others) in this thread as complete idiots who have no taste whatsoever!

[Overthemoon6]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:44pm

Lol.

I'd probably be the one sharing my own story about the lightbulb.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 3/14/06 at 10:52pm

Don't forget the poster who worries about what happens if the lightbulb doesn't want to change. The poster is also worried about whether the replacement bulb will be eligible for an award, or not.
