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?”

Shouldn't it be "light-bulb"?

[Ninny]

Well, gee Arion, you made me laugh! Very funny!

But if you drop the light bulb during discussion, don't use vulgarity because the post will be deleted.  You can say such terms as:
A
S
S
Flakes!!

But when you read it later it will say a@@ flakes!!

I think they even programed in for any number of #@%#%, simple non vulgar words.  For instance:

%#@%#^ lightbulb will become, "stupid lightbulb".  Or:

I'm so p'd!!  The stupid lightbulb landed on my a@@!!  It burns like Hagee's hell.

Musicman you are pushing the limits!! You are always doing that! But don't worry you won't hear ME complain about any bad language or ... anything

Long gag is looooong!

  Nice for a chuckle, though.

The last one is too true!
