How many rfc group posters 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 6 to argue over
whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"

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"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again.

That is pretty old, just updated for rfc. I think I saw it within the first
month that I used usenet.

BUT, it's still funny, and I hadn't seen it in several years.

This is absolutely hysterical! Best laugh I've had for a while! Thank
you!

Huh - I've been around Usenet for 10+ years and that's the first I've
seen of it. Just goes to show, I guess.

It's an engineering joke, isn't it?

Usenet? I see most of my jokes in email.

Good for a chuckle, but not a full on guffaw.

Nope...I can not take credit for this, I have seen it around for many
years in different forms, it crossed my inbox last week and I thought
I would share it, I am glad so many people got a chuckle out of it...
