.....change a light bulb?

I shamelessly copied this from another forum but thought it was worth the laugh

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
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
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 stupid
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 Google 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.

  excellent, sad but true 

[Chris_H]

I would like to suggest that as an L.E.D. doesn't have a bulb then a new maintenance guide should be started that covers this new and interesting topic.

Nice one.  So it's happened before has it?

WHAT ABOUT COMPLAINTS REGARDING USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS AND THEREFORE SHOUTING?

[redelitev6]

what about light fitting or lamp holder?

[Hannah Judes Dad]

what about light fitting or lamp holder?

What about illuminare in this discussion ? 

[tidla]

in the light of current forum controversy i suggest that those members who do not know watt they are doing speak first to phil o ment.those wishing to purchase such items should screw the shop and get them from the bay of net.
yours sincerely lou men.

You hav'nt mentioned the dreaded Health & Safety brigade. Was said bulb bayonet or screw in fitting & what was the wattage? Was this a domestic or commercial exercise? Were said operatives inducted to site, had safety passports & PPE checked? How was spent bulb disposed of? Were memos sent to all relative departments & records of operation logged? Were any chemical/flammable gases or 3 phase supplies present in operation environment, how many non jobbers in CLEAN PPE & with clipboards supervised said operation & were the emergency sevices notified & on stand by?

   Well you can never be too careful!
