How many list members does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the lightbulb has been 
changed.

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing lightbulbs and how 
the light bulb could have been changed differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about 
changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

Another six to condemn those six as stupid.

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the 
correct spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to 
please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use 
light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six 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.

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light 
bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the 
corrected URL.

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant 
to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety 
including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they 
cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting 
questions about light bulbs."

Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.

AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now 
with something unrelated they found at snopes.com and start it all 
over 
again!
