B Finnigan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 How Many Forum Members Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb? 1 to change the light bulb then post about it 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could've been changed differently 1 to move it to the Lighting folder 2 to argue and then move it to the Electrical folder 7 to point out grammar/spelling errors in post about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue whether it's a light bulb or lightbulb 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper tern 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 the discussion to the 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 discuss the dangers of changing light bulbs without a professional opinion 5 to post a disclaimer that they are not light bulb experts, nor do they play one on TV and that anyone planning on changing their own light bulb should consult a professional 7 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then to post the correct URLs 3 to post about links they found from the URLs 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 Everything I need to know I learned from the people trapped in my basement.

Tim92 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wow that's pretty good......... Oh I did find a light bulb forum: http://www.bulbcollector.com/forum/ Knife Prayer by Morris Herring "Heavenly Father, Thank you for my Knife Family. Help me, that they would see Jesus in me. Forge me into a caring person that would be a good witness. Sharpen me, to cut all sin from my life. Guard me, from saying the wrong thing, that I might not offend or hurt someone's feelings and lose my witness to them. Father, let me be able to Handle all trials and tribulations that come my way. Finally, Father, let me help Sheathe lost souls into your Fold. Father, let me use my craft to be a witness and to point the way that the unsaved might follow our Glorious Jesus. Amen."

Jeremy Vaught Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) You know, while it is absolutely hilarious, there are a couple of forums that I've been on that are JUST LIKE THAT. I guess that's one more reason I like this forum so much. And by the way Brent, hardly any of the items listed use punctuation, you mispelled "term", you have open quotes that were never closed and this thread should probably be under "They Way". Oh yeah....and you should probably post some credentials to make such a definitive statement about light bulb changing and post links to references to backup your claims. LMAO!
