Lightbulb Thread

**Stalemate** · January 19th, 2004, 12:26 PM

I know I've posted this before, but it deserves an encore, don't you think?

Question: How many message board members does it take to change a lightbulb?

Answer: 422.

1 to change the lightbulb and post to the board that the bulb has been changed.

4 to respond and share similar experiences.

7 to caution about the dangers of changing lightbulbs.

27 to point out spelling errors and grammatical errors in postings about changing lightbulbs.

53 to flame the spell-checkers.

156 to write to the administrator to complain about the lightbulb discussion and its inappropriateness to the board.

111 to defend the relevance of the lightbulb discussion.

27 to post website addresses where one can see different examples of lightbulbs.

14 to complain that the website addresses are incorrect and post correct ones.

12 to "leave the board forever" because they can't handle the Lightbulb Controversy.</

All in good fun folks.

No one is being singled out by this.

Being a noob to the lounge, I hadn't seen that, so thanks.

I feel that I would fit in that group of 422 somewhere, heh?

Hi there,

I though lightblubs are one of the worse waste of energy product out there.

Hell, 90% is heat, the rest is light.
