Question: How many mailing  list members does it take to change a light bulb??

Answer:  442.

1 to change the light bulb and to post to the list that the light bulb has
been changed:
 
14 to share similar experiences;

27 to point out the dangers of changing light bulbs;

18 to spell check the posting

35 to flame the spell checkers;

156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb
discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list;

111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use light bulbs;

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 to post corrected URL's

6 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot handle
the light bulb controversy.

Oh yeah, and 6 to post to the list that the guy who sent the light bulb joke
has not got his arithmetic correct and that it only takes 416 list members
to change a light bulb. 

        
Cheers, eh!
