1 to change the light bulb and 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
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
3 standards zealots to point out that light bulbs have been deprecated in the LB 2.1 spec
1 to call upon everybody to ignore this deprecation
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
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
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 URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
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"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Me too!
 
Cheeky <span style="color:black">bu</span><span style="color:black">gger</span>. I don't see me in that list. Get your priorities right! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
You see. We let the girlies ino the forum and they hark back to the past, whereas we all know that forumites have already changed to LEDs - except the traditionalists who are still using Oil lamp version 1.0 /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
No! I mean

1 to complain that even if the last poster had <span style="color:black">sh</span><span style="color:black">it</span> for brains he would have seen that I'd already posted that 3 hours ago.
 
What about the 7 raggies complaining about the wash that stinkies make whilst you change it
And the 365 or 366 in a leap year that need to invoke the col regs implications of light bulbs
 
And what about the safe disposal of ,the recriminations ,lamentations,eulogies and character asassination of the old lightbulb,the folk songs in remembrance and the burial party itself? There's a lot to organise..
