Please take this as the joke it was intended to be... I found it funny and I hope you do too.
How many message board readers does it take to change the light bulb?
One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.
Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently.
Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing
light bulbs.
Five to flame the spell checkers.
Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another six to condemn those six as stupid.
Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct
spelling.
Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take
this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.
Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
Thirty six 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.
Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL.
Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".
Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions
about light bulbs"
Three to tell a funny story about their chickens and a light bulb.
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.
I knew you would be the one I upset GE!! Hope Twinsy doesn't read this, she probably loves light bulbs too!
Ha ha! That's pretty accurate. (That goes for all message boards not just this one) I love reading locked threads, by the way. I think we should have a sort of dark area of the site where all the locked threads get archived to so we can go back and read them. 
I can change a light bulb all by myself thank you! (just joking) I am glad you all found the humor in it too. It was posted on my DH fishing website. I think it applies to all websites regardless of topic.
WHAT?!?!? Almost 24 hours and no response from Twinsy??!!
funny how I mention Twinsy and you think of bumping 
ok so I will be the one who brings the topic back to the top of the page
love it love it I can think of so many forums this would work in.
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.
Or to start a new thread about it because the original one got locked!!
Funny and true!!
ROTFLMBO!!!!!
LOL. Made me laugh SO hard. It's true of most message boards though!
