Judging from Herb Gustafson's remarks, it sounds like Yogi Berra was asking the questions.

From the IBC LIST:

How many forum posters does it take to screw in a
light bulb?

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

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 anal-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

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 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6
months from now and start it all over again.


Paul

Newbie Question -- Please help!
I just received a lightbulb as a holiday gift and I don't know how to care for it. When I put it on my television it doesn't seem to want light up ......

Let's all get ready for next week's activity and keep our senses of humor that this certainly started.

Happy Holidays all.

Paul, on a side note. Ripsgreentree called me to tell me that the most important aspect of a lightbulb is the metal base thingy. Without the proper foundation a light bulb is destined to fail.

just thought I would share that to the less informed..

Happy Holidays, Al

Paul, congratulations on your recent light bulb acquisition. I feel that it has great potential and should be allowed to develop for a few years. Attached is a sketch I created to show how I envision this specimen after it branches out some more. he he he heymikey!!

I think you should cut it back to let the ramification develop.
