How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

Post by **jsuber** » August 25th, 2006, 10:45 am

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
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.

j, you forgot the 23 that will ask how to post pictures of the lightbulbs, the 14 that will ask Tom to clarify whatever the difficulties of posting pictures are, and then the 7 "know-it-alls" who jump in and give URLs to picture processors that make the pictures go 20" across on the measley 19" screen!

Guys, this forum is not a forum about discussing hypothetical lightbulb changes, so please take this discussion to a forum about hypothetical lightbulbs..err..lamps.

So, if you turn off the light and leave; is it dark in the room if there's nobody there to see it?

Visible light, easily explained.

It seems some people on this forum have way too much free time on their hands.

I have visible light bulbs at my house, but have place an order for some invisiblelight bulbs at home depot.
