How many aximsite members does it take to change a light bulb?

I loved this one. It is SO true, but where would we be without US at Aximsite?

Here it is:

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

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

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ..another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 "experts" who claim *they* were in the industry, and that
"light bulb" is perfectly correct

109 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please
take this discussion to a lightbulb group

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

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 which make light
bulbs relevant to this group

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all headers and signatures - adding "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 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now, starting the discussion all over again.

We actually had a discussion here awhile back about light bulbs and which were better etc. Yours was a great post!

Don't forget the posts explaining why they "do and don't like the person above me."

Forgot about the post saying how many times we've had this post before...
I know it's been more than once before. Probably more than twice. I do'nt think any more than 3 times before.
