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.

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.

Ah Uncle Fester! He was awesome!
Interesting fact:
Uncle Fester played by Jackie Coogan got his start in film playing the little boy that hung out with Charlie Chaplin in the silent movie "The Tramp".
