Question: How many forum users does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 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 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 53 to flame the spell checkers 41 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as (removed)-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 take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb 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 306 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 27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 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 relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group 33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three" 4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ 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 about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

Just as note: I did copy that out of another forum, I'm didn't make this up myself.I thought about adding some names beside some of the points but refrained.Mine would have probably been beside the last.

[Vibe]

You nailed it right on the head. And the sad thing about it is that it is "TRUE".This is a classic reason why ---I do not post very much anymore.There is too much nit-picking and disrespect for other peoples point of view.Sorry all but that's the way I feel.James (Vibe)

[rasermon]

Sorry Vibe (James), but I will have to disagree with you on this one.

[Fialchar]

Lol, I stand corrected too, I thought it was lightbulb, and was just kidding with you. (I guess my English still isn't that good yet?)

Most of my posts, be it question, comment, or general observation would go by ignored so I finally decided it just wasn't worth participating any more.This may hurt some feelings I know - IMHO there hasn't been any intelligent conversation go on here in a long time.To much "I stuck my head up my a$$ and out run some punk in a Honda while totally endangering myself and everyone around me. I broke 6 laws!"sheeshI'll probably continue to lurk, hoping for the return of this forum to the glory it was when I first joined - 14 months ago.

[millster]

Agreed Joatmon. And I think it's time we let this thread die. Neither path it's currently headed down seems to be constructive.
