"Light" hearted post :)
Tina
In "light" of the intense discussions that we've been having lately
I thought this post was both suitable and humorous. I saw it on
another list I belong to. I hope you enjoy it...
How many list members does it takes to change a light bulb?
One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.
Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs 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 show dog and a light bulb.
AND
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now
and start it all over again.

I saw this on another list too - my response was the following:
Don't forget the 1 troll who compares lightbulb changers to Hitler,
one to call Godwin's Law on the troll and a whole new set of members
to spin off on a flamewar on hitler or Godwin's Law :)
