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
One to move it to the lighting section
Two to argue, then move it to the electrical section
Seven 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
Two industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
Fifteen know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
Nineteen to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
Eleven to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
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 URLs
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"
Two to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
Five to say, "Didn't we go through this already a few months ago?"
Nine to say, "Do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

I don't think the list is complete. There would be at least 30 or 40 posts comparing push feed vs controlled feed light bulb sockets.

Some idiot will always claim that the light bulb did have enough wattage.

Plus +!

Rich

and at least one woman to post how many lesbians it takes? Seven, one to unscrew the old one, and screw in the new one while the other six talk about how much more satisfying than having a man do it for you.

And, the classic: how many Libertarians does it take to change a light bulb? None, because they like it in the dark.

And daman to post that light bulbs can be used for other purposes than illumination.

Dang lightbulb probably wasn't burned out in the first place! Sometimes if you give it a little wiggle it will go on happily burning for a few more weeks. You'll save money that you can use to buy a few primers for reloading.

I forgot one.

How many Psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

Only one, but it takes four years of weekly sessions, and the light bulb has to want to change.
