Just found this and I thought i might share it with you...

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?
 
1 to change the light bulb and 1 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
 
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
 
53 to flame the spell checkers
 
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames
 
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
 
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anally-retentive
 
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
 
156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation
of their "acceptable use policy"
 
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum
 
203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped
 
111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
 
306 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
 
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
 
14 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
 
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
 
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy
 
19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"
 
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ
 
44 to ask what is a "FAQ"
 
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
 
143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs"
 
1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again

Now that was so funny, Foxbat. Worthy of it's own thread  (We do have a jokes thread http://www.eyeonspain.com/Secure/ForumPosts.aspx?thread=339&dev=FB11&name=General%20chit%20chat but I think few read it, sadly.)

It sounds just like most forums I'm in especially one I could mention ( I refer to it as the "elsewhere" forum.)
