How Many Forum Members
Wednesday, November 28, 2007 by Mark | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm not sure if this has ever been posted here or not, but if it has, I'm sorry..Just seemed relevant to most forums I've been on (and it's funny too..)
How Many Forum Members Does It Take To Change a Light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post it 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.
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb".
Another 6 to condemn those six arguments as stupid.
15 to claim experience in the lighting industry AND give the correct spelling.
19 to post that this group is not about light bulbs AND to please take the discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.
11 to defend the posting to the group, saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
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 URL.
3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
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."
3 to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.
AND
1 group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with something unrelated and start it all over again.

Forcibly changing the light bulb is wrong...it needs to want to change.

What I want to know is, does this light bulb thing-a-ma-jig come in both 32 and 64 bit and does it synch with my Philips Go-gear player?

If anyone brings up a lightbulb, light bulb, litebulb or lite bulb in six months from now there will be hell to pay...it has been done to death already and will not be tolerated by the admins, to whom petitions will be sent regarding the blanket banning of all light bulb related threads, plus the exiling of any and all culprits deemed to have painfully and unnecessarily resurrected them.
Be warned, the lite bulb subject is NOW taboo, not on, verboten.

It requires only the intervention of a forum member to post that the light bulb needs changing...after that,it's T-Man's job.

Is this the right forum for help
just got my christmas lights out and one of the lights is not working
what program do I need to get said light to work like the rest of them
Red light not working if that helps on a 240v system
