How many forum members??

Chris · 05 Feb 2004, 22:13

OK,

In light of the fuss on here lately, I think this is quite appropriate!!

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 Electricals 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 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.

I have it on good authority, it's a lamp (my friend is an electrical wholesaler). Aparently, bulbs are for planting in the garden!

yep that is also true

maybe its because they look like bulbs you plant that they are named after them what do you think??

Ageing Bat · 06 Feb 2004, 11:56

Dunno.... probably named by a man (you know what they're like - unoriginal and unable to think of more than one thing at a time!)

Chris · 06 Feb 2004, 15:08

They are called bulbs

The ones in the garden are called bulbs because you plant them to light up the ground for the worms!!!

Sorry, this isn't even on-topic for off-topic, please take your discussion elsewhere perhaps [/url]www.lightbulbsukfanclub.co.uk[/url] would be appropriate (and if you click on that link you really need to consider getting out more).
