.... 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
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then 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
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
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 brand of light bulbs work best for this technique
and what brands are faulty
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
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
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.

Shamelessly stolen from another Usenet group (who stole it from another, and
so on...)

Since we seem to have some of these threads running, it seemed on topic at the
time. ;-)

Yes, but should the lightbulb socket be installed with solid wire or
stranded?

That controversy would be good for another hundred postings.

to meet the NEC and the NFPA codes, you must use crimped terminals. The
IBEW cannot teach its members how to solder.......

You are just being a troublemaker...

And? ;-P

Ya' know if you have all that
extra time on your hands you could take a stroll to the local post and
send me off a set of plans for that sca19, sweeeeeeeet!

Thanks. I may just do that someday. If I ever finish them.

I would even
consider sailing something like that;)

This I have GOT to see ;-)

Of course I would wear a hat
and funny glasses, but then again, I do that now.

Don't we all? Ooops! No. I wear a funny hat but normal glasses. Sorry.

Scotty says:

Actually, you gotta come down this summer dirtbikin' and sailin'.

Sounds lie a plan. I'll talk to my Social Secretary and see what kind of pass
I can get ;-)

Although I am sure I will regret putting this in type,

You usually do, but you're not alone there....

I am currently
attaching a sail, board, and tiller on a little skiff in the yard.

We'll convert you yet, especially if gas prices keep rising. ;-)

Also, last season a guy dropped off an old Klepper folding Kayak with
full sail, jib, mast boom, dual leeboards, and foot pedal control
tiller...

Now, those things are FUN! I'm probably too clumsy for you to want to stick me
in there, but I remember them from my svelte, trim days.

Time to put on the cool builders hat, The Backyard Renegade.

Heh heh! I just got back from a flying visit to Mystic, ostensibly to check
out the kid's car before he drives it to Vermont, but... Sandy is finished and
back in the water - not sailing yet, but I'm looking forward to a spin. I
"accidently" mentioned to Kevin last time I was down there (when she was just
getting the deck put on,) that I had actually sailed a sandbagger before. Bad
mistake! Or good, depends on the viewpoint. ;-)

Look after yourself, Scotty.
