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

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 anal-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

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

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"

    And the 8 to claim that changing the lightbulb is an exploit, and another 8 to argue that if changing lightbulbs was an exploit, Flayra surely would have removed it.

    And 57 to claim that lightbulbs are overpowered.

    And 1 to claim the lightbulbs are underpowered (there is always one)
  • GadzukoGadzuko Join Date: 2002-12-26 Member: 11556Members, Constellation
    And 1 to somehow turn an innocuous comment into an argument about how X is overpowered, and 25 others to join in that argument...


    And 1 mod to lock it.
