How many DUers does it take to change a light bulb?
Advertisements [?]
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
16 to make flippant, cynical, slightly bitter (but admittedly funny) replies
1 to move it to the Lighting Forum
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals Forum
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
7 to put each other on Ignore because of this thread
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a Lightbulb forum, and if there is no Lightbulb forum, to petition the administrators to establish one
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
5 to claim that a lightbulb mentioned is actually a Bulb In Name Only
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
12 to compete who is first to reply with "IBTL"
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
5 to condemn earlier posters that any mention of incandescent bulbs is not eco-friendly and that you will get Al Gore on their ass
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, bolding key phrases and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
3 dramatic "Goodbye DU" posts
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.
