Just saw this over on the Cessna 140 forum (I know, I just can't let go) and thought it applicable.
How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and 1 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.
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
53 to flame the spell checkers.
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.
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.
156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy."
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum.
203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped.
7 people to post. can this be made a sticky?
1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
