I really enjoy this forum and its people.
My sister sent me a joke that is so true about forums that I just had to post it.
How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.
4 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
2 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
3 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
9 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb forum.
6 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.
2 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
Have a great day :cool:
Well,... seeing as how this all so true, we might as well go with it.
Since this forum is dedicated to the great outdoors, Texas style of course,..
When out in the wilds, 'tis best to have along an extra light bulb, or an extra light source all together.
On a self-help forum, they would speculate that,...
It may be possible to change a light bulb, but only if it really wants to.:laugh:
Cheers!

1 to accuse the light bulb changer of trolling.
1 to present the merits of replacing that old incandescent bulb with a low-wattage, low carbon footprint flourescent.
1 to reply that tree-hugging environmentalists who believe that humans have brought about climate change are a bunch of weak-minded, socialist pansies.
3 to appeal to the moderator to remind members to be civil and abide by the forum's rules and etiquette.

ALL OF US to argue who's the brightest bulb in the chandelier!
4 wild Texans will insist they want to be the brightest in the candelabra because its sometimes used with incandescent light bulbs (or is it lamps)
6 wild Texas will add different definitions of both words and link to prior postings
1 environmental analyst to argue that the merits of replacing that old incandescent bulb with a low-wattage, low carbon footprint flourescent are offset by the mercury in the bulb that will be improperly disposed.
7 Wild Texans who know squat about lightbulbs but post up to improve their post count.
