How to change a light bulb using an internet forum

[OldDog]

It takes -

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

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's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"

6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

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

156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation
of their "acceptable use policy"

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and
lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

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

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 URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 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

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the whole light bulb controversy

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

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?"

143 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

[p38arover]

From the Land Rover Anti-FAQ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cattermole/faq.htm (spelling has not been corrected):

How many Land Rover Owners does it take to change a lightbulb?
At least nine. The relative merits of genuine parts versus aftermarket products must be discussed, with of course, the consideration of the value of equivalent, common, american replacements, which leads to a lively symposium about the validity of non-original Land Rovers, degenerating into a heated argument about which particular Land Rover model is the best, incorporating, naturally, a joke about a Corgi or Dinky model being the best, starting a comparison of various miniature Land Rover collections, culminating with a trading frenzy, whilst the remaining participants rehash the benefits of cooking on a galvanized grill versus the resulting toxicity. Eventually the bulb *is* replaced, at which point, seeing as how it's Lucas Electrics, it promptly burns out again. [RS]

Another idea vlad, youre on a role. I like it. Matt

[p38arover]

Ahh, but they make an enormous difference to meaning of a word or sentence.

For example, if I see "wont" am I to read it as "won't" meaning "wouldn't" or "wont" meaning "accustomed" or "apt"?

The lack of commas can make reading seriously difficult - have you ever read legal documents? They avoid commas completely thus making them very abiguous.

Yeah, that might be so, but you have to want to read into the sentence/words more, i don't so i just read it as its presented. We all know what we are getting at. That all that matters in this place. Matt

I'd say read it as won't because:

Most of the miscreants on this forum don't use fancy words like 'wont'
Most of the miscreants on this forum can't type.

Dunno, Davo.

I'm on the rangie.com list, the RRO list, the rangerovers.net forum, the MotorcarsLtd RR forum (all international lists with a predominantly American membership), the AU-LRO list (not this list), and the Hillman list and none exhibit these problems. Neither do the Land Rover and the Peugeot newsgroups.

However, the Australian Range Rover and Discovery Forum has a fair share of them, as does the Australian Ford Probe forum, the Australian 4WD Monthly Forum, the Overlander forum, and the Two Wheels forum (all of which I'm on). (I've given up the aus.motorcycles newsgroup, I don't have enough time for that, too. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Gawd! What have I done with my life!? :cry:

I'm on a couple of CAD forums and a Linux forum , American based.

Sometimes its hard just trying to understand what their trying to say ... :cry:
They find real english rather amusing and correct my spelling with a whole
lot of 'Z's'. I reckon Columbus dropped his dictionary overboard on the way over... :roll:

<grin> You're right when it comes to the computer fora. I sometimes have trouble understanding what they are saying, too. Thinking about it, there are occasionally people on the LR/RR lists I mentioned earlier whose command of the English language is abysmal - bad enough that it sometimes difficult to understand what they are saying. At first I thought that they must have been people whose first language is not English - but they aren't. Jeez, those blokes on the lists who are from non-English speaking backgrounds are often better than I at English - and far better at English than I am with their language.

The bloke who runs the http://rangerovers.net site, john Brabyn, is a Kiwi who lives in the USA. He has problems with interspersing "z" (US practice) and "s" (NZ/Aus practice).

I occasionally have a dig at blokes on this list about spelling but I try to keep it light-hearted. Heck, I consider you blokes to be almost family and where would we be if we couldn't rubbish our family? Much better than rubbishing people we don't know. Of course, we all know that all the d**kheads are are on the 4WD Monthly and Overlander lists. Not here. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Unfortunately, it is difficult (for me) to convey a jocular tone of voice in the written word. :oops:

BTW, Columbus, who was an Italian (Genoan) sailing for the Spanish actually never reached what we now call America. He reached the Bahamas and Cuba. By his third voyage he'd reached Jamaica. It is believed that the continent of North America was later found by and named after Amerigo Vespucci - another Italian (Florentine) sailing for the Spanish.

All the best

[Ace]

I joined a ford escort forum the other night (Australian), the majority of the active members seem to be late teens early twenties and their english and their ability to string sentences together is shocking. The sentences are some times unreadable. At least on here, even with the spelling mistakes, you can still read and understand the sentences. Matt

You also missed that he spelt hobby, as hoby. A hoby is a type of catamaran sailing boat. Matt

No, I didn't miss that - the cat is spelled Hobie - see http://www.hobiecat.com.au/

My colleagues at OTC used to race them when they worked in Guam.
