How many DC4MS forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?

[Tedpilot]

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.

...and one moderator to say that was hysterical!

[vineyarder]

gets my vote as the best post of the quarter!

but I must add:

3 posts about why canadian light bulbs are under-represented,
5 posts about the light bulbs at Hooters,
6 posts about why "Companion Members" should have to bring their own light bulbs, and
102 posts about why the new light bulbs are so much worse than the old light bulbs...

[DC4MS]

This is a great thread....keep adding to the list.

How about:

1 candle to argue they are a lightbulb until everyone else is crazy
49 lightbulbs to vote that the candle is not a lightbulb

[susank]

one philosophical thread suggesting that lighting a candle in the dark may be a good thing, especially if someone dropped the light bulb.

Agreed!!!

That is a classic, no doubt.

I have to admit, though, that I kinda miss our little "candle in the wind" friend (for some unknown, bizarre reason).

...would have to be a bizarre reason! That said, the "candle" certainly fueled the flames, here!

[TarheelTraveler]

Clearly saluki must not have wasted hours of time like I did on that dim candle.

I've learned that some "candles" just will never light...the wick is just too short or missing! They must have missed that line in the candle assembly plant been off playing, playing, playing. Then again, that baby "candle" could have been arguing with the lightbulbs why she was a lightbulb and not a candle and missed it...either way...they just don't shed any light on the subject.

Absolutely classic!!! Well played, indeed.

I'm pretty sure it's "lamp", but I can't confirm that unless you all sign NDAs
