How many BA members 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"

17 - to say they have the best brand lightbulb and accuse the rest of being Hardley owners



You know who you are !!!!




I cannot decide whether to be a good example or a horrible warning ! Peace & respect http://www.tomcc.org/gg/ Eric

You missed that guy that always takes pictures of the process and posts it.

That was quite entertaining!

Then there's the guy that chimes in saying he doesn't know what a lightbulb is.

That was pretty good!!

Talking of light bulbs. "Its the end of the real light bulb" Soon only the dim energy efficient light bulbs will be available. Fairground's have been upset wont be able to get the 100 watts for the rides etc.

Does Fasteddy ship lightbulbs? Can Ray manage to put chrome additions on one?

Should we let lightbulbs attend our rallies and would the furthest travelled lightbulb get a prize?

Otherwise what a spot on post - made me


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Yeah!!! Tom's right!!!

I mean Eric, dude, IF you're take the time to compile a friggin' list 'bout somethin', then the NEXT TIME for gosh sakes PLEASE make sure it's a COMPLETE list, will ya???!!!

Oh, and seein' as how Tom brought this particular omission to your attention, I have yet ANOTHER one for ya which I think you forgot....

1-(okay, maybe a few more than just 1, but I'm thinking of a particular "1" here)-to post his own often heated personal views about the politicial implications of changing the light bulb!!!

(but of course, I ain't gonna name any names here....'cause I DON'T think I NEED to!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
