Post by: gordo350 on December 22, 2017, 07:50:56 AM
Stolen from another site 😎
How many online forum group members does it take to change a light bulb?

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.

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

53 to flame the spell checkers.

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames.

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"...another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

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.

156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy".

109 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb group about changing light bulbs be stopped.

111 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group.

306 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.

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

14 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.

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three".

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

I think that this post is totally irelavant on this forum since 99% don't use light globes any way, 50% probably don't even know what a light bulb is and our speling is fine

On a related note, the sparkies were replacing the light fittings (I know off topic) and found that none of the lights in our house had an earth.

Sorry, couldn't help myself  ;D

With the price of energy now and to save costs on that I don't change any globes when they blow. I've found that candles are much cheaper and give a more romantic setting. ;D

And 15 people to comment on the advantages of changing to energy saving globes and how much money they’ve saved.

Followed by another 37 people to comment on how much money they’ve saved by going completely off grid and running their whole house off solar. 

Then that 1 guy posts that renewables are unreliable and “science is crap”!

And the mods swiftly lock that thread before it really goes down hill... ;)

And 27 people commenting that the fact the globe failed meant it   was not fit for purpose and under consumer law you can sue the manufacturer and if that doesn't work advising an approach your favourite tabloid TV current affairs program for help in exposing the scam that is light globes.

Basic premise of English Automakers, 'The oil has to get out, so the dirt doesn't get in.

I joined because of the dirty disco in the driveway.  Some of the rambling on there would make you dizzy
