<< 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!
