Default Lightbulb

I am not sure if this is a repost or not, but I just saw it and thought it was funny:

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

1 to change the light bulb and 1 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
5 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
17 to flame the spell checkers
10 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as ****-retentive
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
8 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"
5 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
9 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped
4 people to post. can this be made a sticky?
1 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again
