How many internet 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
33 to post "Me too"
19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
27 to point out that light bubs have never been changed correctly and we
need to come up with many new ways
23 to say how it's always been done is just fine
2 to correct spelling/grammar of previous posts
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
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
306 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
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy
44 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again....
