Subject: [OT] Mailing Lists and Lightbulbs.....

One of the guys here at work found the following while surfing the web
on
lunch.	I thought it was as funny as all heck. (My apologies if it has
be
posted before.)

Q: How many internet mail list subscribers does it take to change a
light
bulb? 

A: 678: 
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. 
156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb
discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list. 
111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we are all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list. 
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 corrected URLs. 
3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this
list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list. 
12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
