7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
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

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

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"

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

You're missing one:
1 to hijack the topic and turn it into a religous debate about whether or not the bible is against frosted light bulbs.

2 look for a STICKY on instructions to screw in a lightbulb, created by Euroslavia(and his help threads are a good read BTW)

None: there is enough heat and light generated by the constant flames.

3 to claim that they are god and therefore they don't even use light bulbs, but even if they did, they'd never have to change 'em.
28 to say there is no god
4 to get pissed off and flame in all caps
2 to say to bring the discussion of god's existance to another thread
