How many ATOTers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

[slydecix]

adapted from something I saw elsewhere...

The answer is 476...

1 to physically screw in the light bulb
6 to comment that that light bulb has been screwed in before
2 to say that the light bulb should be labeled with a better description of the action that is associated with it
4 to ask for pics of the light bulb
1 to say that a program can be written to screw in the light bulb for you
3 to say that there are better ways to write that program
1 to say that the light bulb is in the wrong socket
6 to complain that it's yet-another-light-bulb-screwing-in
16 to make comments that are completely unrelated to light bulbs
21 to agree with other reactions to the screwing-in of the light bulb, yet without actually actually opening their mouths
414 to watch the light bulb get screwed in and go back to doing other things without any reaction at all

...and 1 to comment that technically, it only takes a single ATOTer to screw in the light bulb since the physical act of screwing-in was performed by just one individual.

changed

light bulb could have been changed differently

bulbs

53 to flame the spell checkers

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

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 forum is not about light bulbs and to please
take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

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

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

306 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

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"

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they
cannot handle the light bulb controversy

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

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

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again
