HI Carl
Don't know, but how many does it take to change a lightbulb?
"How many list members does it take to change a light bulb?
One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.
Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently.
Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing
light bulbs.
Five to flame the spell checkers.
Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another six to condemn those six as stupid.
Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct
spelling.
Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please
take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.
Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
Thirty six 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.
Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL.
Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to
this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions
about light bulbs."
Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.
AND
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with
something unrelated they found at snopes.com <about:blank> and start it all
over again!"

That's funny, last week on auction it only hit a tad under $1500.00 and
didn't meet reserve, then it comes back with a huge "buy it now" and sells.
Go figure?

You missed my favorite. Better than half of the total light bulb
posters will forget to delete everything that came before and waste
megabits of bandwidth.

Yep. And the answer isn't simple and fixed. For some hams, it's
"One. He holds up his hand, and the world revolves around him."
Not, by the way, true of the present company.
