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

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.
 
Sounds like the general troll rules for firehouse.com.


Everything there has been asked, and discussed. So when someone asks a new question, they don't get an answer, just a link and some unprofessional attitude. So after a while, when one had read all the posts, there is no reason to go back to the site at all, because there is nothing to talk about... :blink:

2 members to reply saying that PA isn't to the lightbulb stage yet, we are still using oil lamps and candles.

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

And the question has been answered....
just by looking at the replys here to this one

:):):)
 
and to make it appropriate to this forum...

24 to argue weather the lightbar is a jet sonic, jet stream, or an Aero-Dynic
 
And one user to never return again because they were electrocuted to death while examining their own light bulbs.
 
Don't forget the 18 bystanders (in this case guests) who like to watch, but don't want to get involved.
 
This has to be one of the funniest posts I have seen.
 
This is the one post that totally explains every forum experience I've ever had...thank you for sharing!
 
LMAO, I've been in forums like that too...Too Funny! :lol:
 
And bringing it back from the dead now, just proves it to be so true...
 
Isn't that what we try to do. Bring them back from almost certain death?
 
yes, but much more dramatic ok?

like reaching down the throat of the grim reaper to snatch the feet of our beloved citizens and fan that last flicker of life to flame for the er.....

Sorry, just found a link to this and, with my warped sense of humor...COULDN'T RESIST IT!!!

BTW, I firmly believe the lightbulb should only change if it really wants to, it should be able to make it's own decisions
