How Many Msg Board Posters Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?
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 bulbs 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 postings 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 works best
for which 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, therefore making 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 kids and a light bulb.
AND One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now
and start it all over again.

Oh come on dude you missed:
one to say they should have used the new type of bulb to help in the global warming crisis;
One to say George Bush doesn't care about global warming
One to say that reminds me of ... (something completely off topic) and couldn't remind anyone of it unless you are trying to cram you agenda into the discussion.
One to say Firecalc should inculde light bulb usage in its calculation.

Sort of a transitive, two step process. Its too early to do a lightbulb with a pancake on its head.

Absolutely none. In fact, a study performed by the university of michigan has proved conclusively that rabbits like light bulbs on their heads.
A second study has also shown that rabbit shaped pancakes are up to 18% tastier.
