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.

Praise the glory of online forums.

But this thread never addressed how topic in a thread can stray. Like two posters will suddenly somehow link the discussion to pedophiles and diesel fuel.

is it lightbulb or light bulb anyway?
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-13 15:09:58 UTC Post #114182
I believe the term 'lamp' fits in better, since we make the best 'lamps' en Eindhoven we are allowd to give it a name.

FFS, I'm sick of andy starting random threads. This is a mapping community, and I don't know why we even tolerate this here...no wait.

Odd that emoticons require a fullstop afterwards, when they clearly make no coherent sense when reduced to the actual characters. Tut tut tut... ;)

Nah, that one made sense. I was finishing the sentence. The post before didn't have any verbs in, so it couldn't've been a sentence.

Pwned.

I think we should stop now in case we make Andy cry.

I was bitching about this one:
I was making up for Jeremy's lack of full stops in his post :P.
Technically, you've got a colon and the letter P there, which do not make sense with regards to the words previously typed. Therefore, as they are special characters, they belong outside of the full stop. Checkmate, bitch. :D

Oh man, I'm such a nerd. Andy's gonna kill me. :(

followed by a full stop. My point is, it turns up as a picture. It's not a colon and a 'p'.

Should add:
2 nerds to try and impress the rest of the forum by showing off their superior grammatical skills and and ability to post computer code.


And by referring to a simple period as a "full stop"

Alex, if it's an image, then it doesn't require a full stop after it! You've now dug yourself into a proverbial hole. :D
