OT Joke about newsgroups (Long)
Q: How many Internet discussion group subscribers does it take to change a
light bulb? A: 1,189 1 to change the light bulb and to post to the mail list 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. 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs. 53 to flame the spell checkers. 41 to correct spelling/grammar flames. 6 to argue over whether it is "lightbulb" or "light bulb"; another 6 to condemn these 6 as anal-retentive. 156 to write to the group administrator about the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this discussion group. 109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please take this exchange to alt.lightbulb 203 to demand that the cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and alt.illuminati about changing light bulbs be stopped. 111 to defend the posting to this dg saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this discussion group. 306 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. 27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs. 14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and to post the corrected URLs. 3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this dg which makes light bulbs relevant to this dg. 12 to post to the dg that they are unsubscribing because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy. 4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ. 44 to ask what is a FAQ. 4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago on Usenet?" 43 to ask "What's Usenet?" |

Elena: Funny! You forgot, on RCTQ we'd also have:
6 to ask about how big to make a quilt for a light bulb changer 4 to ask for source of pattern for light bulb block, no applique 2 to ask for source of template for light bulb block, only applique 1 to brag that she has ligth bulb motif FQ in her stash, so this makes her post ON topic ... and I am she!
