    How it works around these places.

    Copied from another page and thought it was relevant to most topics from headlight bulbs to EGR blanking.

    Sums up this place wellHow it works around these places.How it works around these places.How it works around these places.How it works around these places.

    Q: How many group members does it take to change a headlight bulb?

    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'.

    Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.

    22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jerks.

    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.

    7 vultures who ask if they could have the old lightbulb.

    5 to ask where they bought the replacement lightbulb.

    26 who say the lightbulb being used is the wrong one and that they should buy the one they are selling.

    49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)

    19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.

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

    24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs

    44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.

    12 to post F.

    8 to ask what F means.

    7 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to.

    3 to say "can't share"

    2 to reply "can't share from a closed group"

    36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.

    15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.

    6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"

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

    13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".

    1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn't the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments.

    50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

    5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.

    1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.

    Several to question if the light bulb actually needed changing at all, and maybe had simply been incorrectly fitted in the first place.

    5 to discuss the merits of a Toyota Light Bulb over a Land Rover Bulb.

    And a plethora of comments about the pricing of Dealer fitted bulbs over independent bulb shops.
