THE QUESTION:
How many internet mail list subscribers does it take to change a light bulb?

ANSWER:
1,331:

1 to change the light bulb and to post to the mail list 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

156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list.

41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please take this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb

203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.

111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we are all using light bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list.

306 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.

14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post corrected URLs.

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.

33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote them including all headers and footers, and then add "Me Too."

12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.

47 to say this is just what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for, leave it here.

and, the balance to say that this doesn't add up to 1331, so what's up?

He's probably at work. If I understood correctly, he has to refrain from personal net use because he works at a customer's facility.

Not nearly enough thread drift for us. Now maybe if a discussion of light bulbs drifted into tulip bulbs then I think you would have a deadringer for us.

Ziploc is correct -- I normally don't post during the day since I am a contractor at a government facility and I really should not be "having fun" on taxpayer's dollars (makes my company look bad and we could lose millions on the contract)... I'll leave the goofing around during the day to the civil servants!!! (Just kidding!)
