How many Shop Talkers does it take to change a light bulb?

and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently

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 forum is not about light bulbs and to please

203 to demand that
cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
light bulb forum
about changing light bulbs be stopped
111 to defend the posting to
this forum saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts are
relevant to this forum

bulbs is superior, where to
buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light

technique and what brands are faulty

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

this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all

cannot handle the light
bulb controversy
19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

44 to ask
what is a "FAQ"
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short
time ago?"
143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before
posting questions

1 new forum member to respond
to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again
1 OE user to quote all the previous responses in an HTML post so
the other 535 previous respondents can flame him to hell
and one
Linux user to say don't change the light
bulb.
