How many ls1tech 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 subforum

2 to argue then move it to the Electricals subforum

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 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

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.

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
3 to post something that has nothing relevant to the subject but just to get their 2 cents in.

4 to input "LOL" without any additional comments.

2 that are sure that it's more funny than just a regular "lol" so they advent "rofl"

1 there always has to be on to and spin-off another subject

2 at least two to bolster back that the subject needs to be put on track again.

5 who at least get into an argument bash with at least two of them beginning with the 'your mother' insults.

1 to post "Hey, I noticed you have a GE oven in the background. How do you like it?"
1 to post that he has light bulbs for sale and that he has a trader rating of 144. He'll sell you his barely used light bulbs for $0.01 less than you can buy them new.

3 to post in the thread not knowing anything about the thread or the people posting in it just to say the thread is gay and try to start drama.
