How many urc-ers to change a light bulb?

Stolen from a post on the Brompton forum. Sound familiar?

How many forum users does it take to change a lightbulb?

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"

18 who trip over each other in their rush to say "repost!"

To which we probably need to add:

Troll B to claim that cyclists ignore red light bulbs....

1 to start a lengthy debate on the possible dangers of quick release
lightbulb holders?

Need a long debate on the safety aspects on wearing lightbulbs on the head.

Should a the law be brought in to make it compulsory.

To which we probably need to add:

4 or 5 to assert that motorists are less likely to have working lights
than cyclists.

And one, or the very specific one of Stephen M Scharf, to point out
we're clearly Doomed if, once changed, it isn't powered by a high
performance rechargeable battery, and half a dozen more to point out
that dynamos are quite adequate in practice, and then a few more to
point out hub dynamos are clearly The Way Forwards for this sort of
application.

Two (or more) to partake of a lengthy flame war on the merits of screw-
in versus bayonet fittings.
