Thought a little humor about now couldn't hurt. If you are offended by humor, characterizations of light bulb changers in general, or characterizations of internet discussion forum users.... READ NO FURTHER!
Q: How many internet discussion forum users does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1,2431 to change the light bulb and to post to the forum 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;
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs;
53 to flame the spell checkers;
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames;
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"; another 6 to
condemn those 6 as anal-retentive;156 to write to the list admin about the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this forum;
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion exchange to lightbulbdiscussionforum.com;
203 to demand that cross posting to grammar-l, spelling-l and illuminati-l about changing light bulbs be stopped;
111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this forum;

14 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 list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list;
33 to link all posts to date, then quote them including all headers and footers and then add "Me too";

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three";

In reply to 1,243 light bulbs cannot equal your brilliance. (nm) » Shar, posted by beardedlady on April 29, 2002, at 7:10:36
Sigh.
Wish I could think like that and make up funny things! There was no author's name on it when I got it as an email.
Thought it was a hoot.
The disclaimer, though, was mine.....

Pretty soon this will be all over the net. I'm sending the joke as e-mail humour to some friends & I KNOW they'll be passing it on. So true & so funny. Thanks so much. I'm working on keeping cheerful & that's much useful right now.
