How many SailNet members does it take...?

to change a lightbulb?

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"
3 crazy mods warn people to stop insulting and then bust them in the head with the ban/suspension stick if they dont listen
3 to recommend using l.e.d.s
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

You forgot "one to post a drawing of a pair of lightbulbs that appear to have hair on them".

Otherwise, spot on.

I'm moving this from "Off-topic" to "Electrical".

At our boat club we have a come up the best way to change a light bulb. We find a new boater and ask him to hold the light bulb. Then the rest of us drink until the boat spins!~

I had to log in to say how hilarious that post was.

You also forgot to add 100 to argue what political party ultimately caused the failure of the light bulb being replaced.

You forgot to mention the knucklehead that will post a completely off-topic picture that only he finds amusing. To wit:

Don't forget the 1 who points out to everyone that the original post was made in 2004 and that the OP has probably since figured it out.
