6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"...another 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 group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group

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

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

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".

How many Matelots does it take to change a light bulb?

10. 1 to claim he wasn't shown how to do it in training, 1 to be adrift, 1 to claim he is being victimised as he did it last time, 1 to claim his careers adviser told him that special teams came onboard to do the cleaning & change the bulbs, 1 to lose it, 1 to step on it, 1 to be pissed & try to trap the girl actually changing it, 1 to eat it, 1 to be on his "late standeasy" & 1 to take charge.

I assume that a risk assessment was done before the commencement of changing the lamp and that full EU and Union rules were followed. Also that no ethnical, racial, religious or sex discrimination was involved and that the full rate for the job was paid.
