How many skinners does it take to change a light bulb?
Tuesday, October 14, 2003 by goodmorphing | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
A newbie opens a thread and asks how to change a light bulb.
5 minutes later an experienced forum member posts detailed instructions.
5 other members post their similar experiences changing light bulbs.
7 report on other methods for changing light bulbs.
3 point out the typos and grammar mistakes in the light bulb posts.
8 members are upset about the grammar experts.
9 write that this is not the right place for discussing light bulbs and this discussion should be carried on in another forum.
10 defend the thread, since we all use light bulbs and this thread therefore belongs in this forum.
21 members debate which light bulb changing method is superior, where the best light bulbs can be purchased, which kind of light bulb is best and which brands are bad quality.
6 post URLs which show light bulbs.
5 say that the previous URLs are wrong and post the right addresses.
14 quote the complete posts and write "Me too." under them.
7 announce that they will leave the forum because they can't stand these constant light bulb discussions.
1 member suggest starting a forum for electrical bits and bobs.
2 say that the help forum has already been set up for that topic.
4 suggest that the posters read the light bulb FAQ.
5 members point out old threads that have already handled this topic.
Answer: It takes 108 forum members to change one light bulb.
I found this somewhere else.

MadIce, sorry, but that was too close to a personal attack.
I hesitated for a bit, but decided to delete your post.

Sorry, paxx. It was not intended to be a personal attack. Must have been too close to reality.

1 will complain that he hasn't received his serial number for the light bulb yet and bombard Stardock Support with mail...Probably should come to this thread; All the information you want and don't.

Some skinners will not bother changing the light bulb, but send an error report to Microsoft claiming that a virus has deleted the "Lightbulb.exe" file. They will also explain that this has had a considerable effect on the running of their computer, and then go on to write a lecture on power consumption.

Litestep help forums are littered with the corpses of Lightbulb users. Lightbulbs are just dumbed-down candles for people who want all their work done for them. Whale oil, all the way... and you have to kill the whale yourself, and filters suck...

"13 will claim they invented electricity.....so someone is gonna pay bigtime."
And then SCO will come in... Ooops - wrong forum. SCO's made no claims to skinning. Yet.
