    How many forum members does it take 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 row 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 row 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.

    If it did, was it blind abx tested ? :eek: , if not, why not :mad:, if so then was a difference detectable?, could 10 people all confirm a difference?, and was the chair used to change the said bulb, R/A approved :D and was it then reviewed in WHF and given 5 stars, did 57 scietificaly proven ex grad's with 250 years of experiance between them on "Ruud Huillet & his place on the grand scheme of things"(but still can't change a tap washer) disect the said 'blind test' as it's not possibly according 'garp' :confused:
    Oh, and was the 'switch' uprated to cope with the possible 'better preforming Bulb?' ;) still I'm sure it's all bollox :)

    i used to be aprenticed to one of the top 3 'bulb' changers in the country and can inform you from experience that 'bulb' is perfectly correct and an accepted technical term.
    oh, and by the way tony, your spelling and grammar are no where near up to scratch.
    cheers

    JU, you are quite correct sir, however on this occasion they were 'engineered' into the weft just to see if you double blind tested them & then subject the results to a battery of uni- know alls ;) T.
