    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
    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 group is not about light bulbs and to please take
    this discussion to a light bulb group
    11 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light
    bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group
    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 group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
    start it all over again.

    I put a new light bulb in my lamp in the office. Its one of those you just touch and it turns to different intensities . . . then off. But with this new light bulb it only stays on one level and wont turn off... I think its cuz they are the Walmart "Great Value"
