    How many rfc group posters 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 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or
    "light bulb"

    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.

    And don't forget:

    1 Sheldon to stand off to the side shrieking "Here we go again! WHERE'S THE DAMNED LIGHT
    BULB RECIPE?"

    That is pretty old, just updated for rfc. I think I saw it within the first month that I
    used usenet.

    BUT, it's still funny, and I hadn't seen it in several years.

    It's been around (fill in with your favorite group name) for years. Elaine Goldberg posted it here
    last July 18.

    Huh - I've been around Usenet for 10+ years and that's the first I've seen of it. Just goes to
    show, I guess.

    It's an engineering joke, isn't it?

    Usenet? I see most of my jokes in email.

    Good for a chuckle, but not a full on guffaw.

    Nope...I can not take credit for this, I have seen it around for many years in different forms, it
    crossed my inbox last week and I thought I would share it, I am glad so many people got a chuckle
    out of it...
