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 speling/gramer errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct speeling/gramur 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 search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 to hijack the thread and ask how to change the horn
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

nice one due - but you forgot,
at least 2 to decide what colour the bulb should be......
then at least 500+ to ask how to change the colour.... 
then a Durbs to tell someone that the lightbulb thread already exists - do a search

Is there a FAQ on lightbulb changing?
What about a video?
can someone post a walkthrough?
Should we make a discussion thread on the same topic, but how it's always dark when you have to change them?

i think that deppends on the context skully*a hush fell over the courtroom.."wattage was the accused at the time of the incident" , asked the judge*
FurryPurple...i like it, i like it alot.. suits u!
ps. how many spinners does it take to change a lightbulb?
2,you need 1 to change the bulb and one to say "thats nothing, i can do that with an extra twist"

Ug... yeah... this is has been posted before as oli stated.
How many HoPers does it take to do a search?
I find it expecially ironic since it says in the spam that you cut and pasted.

"If God said "Let there be light" to in Ankh Morpork then he'd get no further because of the number of people asking "What colour?" -TP
And candles are better than lightbulbs anyway

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.
I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
