GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Just pulled this off another board, that I think got it from yet another but it still seems fitting:How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb? 1 to change the light bulb and 1 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 7 people to post. can this be made a sticky? 1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

That's my main reason for really liking genvibe, people are actually helpful.

token comment to increase my number of posts!

Don't forget about those who complain that there was not enough participation. It's good to laugh at ourselves.
