Guest ozzie Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 How many forum 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 1 to move it to the Lighting section after 2 have argued to 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 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 supermarkets are offering discounts on brands of light bulbs, and what customer service they expect in a lightbulb shop 4 to say that they’ve been disappointed in Lightbulb Live for the last 4 years 12 to ask why those 4 keep going to Lightbulb Live only to complain about it 1 to break the news about the new limited release light bulb 1 to post that the news was already broken in another thread and start a poll about reading entire threads 12 to post that they shouldn’t mention limited releases because someone might buy them to resell 1 to insist he has every right to buy and sell lightbulbs 1 to obsessively insist that no-one should make profit from lightbulbs on this forum 5 to post that they’ve collected 11 of the limited edition lightbulbs already so might as well get the whole set. 32 to not bother posting because there’s no post count showing anymore 8 to say that their electric company sent them 4 free lightbulbs, when quite clearly they would have preferred the moon on a stick. 6 to post thinly veiled criticisms of forum staff’s management of lightbulbs 15 to post that forum staff can do exactly as they want with their own lightbulbs 6 to pretend they were just asking innocent questions about lightbulb management and didn’t do anything wrong 1 to ask that forum staff backup all mention of lightbulbs so they can write a book about their really interesting life with lightbulbs 11 to reply that it’s not a personal lightbulb anecdote storage facility 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 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including pictures, 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.
Guest mike_perth Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hehe Very funny, but on some forums (Rec Aviation excluded) oh so true!
Guest Maj Millard Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Ozzie, you really do have too much spare time on your hands mate, you need another aeroplane to build or something.....but the real sad thing is......I read the damn thing !!!...................
Admin Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hmmm, does anyone know anything about conveyor belts?
Tomo Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 .but the real sad thing is......I read the damn thing !!!................... I'd have to agree with you on that one Maj...
Seal Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hmmm, does anyone know anything about conveyor belts? More than I ever wanted to, or indeed more than I believed could be known. I have to point out that Ozzie missed the five who maintain that we should not discuss the replacement of the lightbulb lest those who had basked in the light of the replaced bulb should take offence at the process of replacement.
Guest ozzie Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Ozzie, you really do have too much spare time on your hands mate, you need another aeroplane to build or something.....but the real sad thing is......I read the damn thing !!!................... I need to build an aircraft that is worth more than the cost of obtaining a licence.
pudestcon Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hmmm, does anyone know anything about conveyor belts? If you weren't 'Admin' Admin I'd tell you to get off!!!
Guest High Plains Drifter Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 1 to post that the news was already broken in another thread and start a poll about reading entire threads might be the third time now
Admin Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 If you weren't 'Admin' Admin I'd tell you to get off!!! - but mate, I will let just you in on a little secret, I am stepping down soon and Slartibartfast will be managing the forums so you CAN tell me to get off ;)
planedriver Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hmmm, does anyone know anything about conveyor belts? Be careful with this one, for what goes around, comes around:confused::confused::confused: I've just read ozzies original post and was de-lighted at his contribution;);) Kind regards Planey
