Title: How many HLPers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Post by: Stealth on September 20, 2003, 09:29:48 am: 1 to change the light bulb

1 to post that the light bulb has been changed

6 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

3 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

6 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

6 to flame the spell checkers

8 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 8 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

7 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

3 to report the participants to the admins, complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

3 admins to come and threaten to ban anyone else flaming

6 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

4 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

9 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

12 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

9 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

5 to post pictures of lightbulbs and lightbulbs being changed

12 to point out that all they see is a "red x"

7 to flame the picture posters for not knowing how to post a picture correctly

3 admins to come in and threaten bannings a second time.

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

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

3 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

5 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

6 to ask what is a "FAQ"

5 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

19 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

6 to warn the poster to 'Red X Alert'

3 members each starting a new thread on changing light bulbs.

Post by: diamondgeezer on September 20, 2003, 10:45:50 am: You forgot the serial double posters, Stealth. Those guys, and the people that quote huge posts or a dozen pictures with a single-line reply of their own which actually only refers to a tiny little bit of the quote or people that quote a post despite the fact that their own post is right underneath it... they get right up my nose.

Oh and while I'm on the subject, people who habitually use the following smilies: :rolleyes: :mad2: and :doubt: need slapping with a stick of wet celery. Yes.

Post by: Descenterace on September 20, 2003, 03:21:37 pm: Definitely one of the funnier things I've seen in the last few months, with the possible exception of Simon Travaglia's 'Bastard Operator from Hell':

Originals:
http://bofh.ntk.net/bastard.html

Years 2000, 2001, and 2002:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/30/15804.html
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/30/25244.html
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/30/29055.html

In particular, year 2000 episode 36. Very funny.

But yes, the lightbulb jokes are always amusing.
