*How many subscribers to a web email list
does it take to change a light bulb? *

*ANSWER:*

    * 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.
    * 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about
      changing light bulbs.
    * 41 to correct the spelling/grammar flames.
    * 6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light
      bulb.'
    * Another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.
    * 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the
      proper term is 'lamp.'
    * 27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different
      light bulbs.
    * 12 to post to the group that they will no longer post
      because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
    * 4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.
    * 44 to ask, 'What is an FAQ?'
    * 2 to post reasons why the light bulb burning out is the
      result of a government conspiracy.
    * 4 to say, 'Didn't we go through this already a short
      time ago?'
    * 43 to say, 'Do a Google search on light bulbs.'
    * 1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from
      now and start it all over again.
