Talking How many list members does it take to change a lightbulb?

This just came through my email from another group I'm with. I found it completely fitting...


How many list members does it take to change a lightbulb?


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

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing lightbulbs 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.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

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.

AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now
with something unrelated they found at snopes.com and start it all over
again!

The main reason I am sitting here laughing is because it is sooooo true...
I'm almost afraid to post this because now I have to go figure out where I fit in the list.

I, personally, don't like light bulbs at all. I make DH change them most of the time. I've heard that light bulbs are very dangerous ~ emitting all kinds of horrible things, not to mention the possibility of breaking and cutting someone. Maybe we should go back to gas lighting so it's safer all around. Then, we'd never have to change light bubs, and we would have no need for this thread. In that case, the OP could delete the entire thread...but then several other people would be very upset and post additional threads inquiring about the where abouts of the original thread...and wondering about the integrity of the OP.

Sooo funny and soooo true. (and to prove it, those CFL light bulbs -those squggly ones- actually do have toxic fumes if they break!!)
