• 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
• 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light 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 participants' 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 light bulb group.
• 203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and light bulb 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.

• 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."

The best books aren't static stories, but living entities with meanings that change and grow along with you. That's why we strongly recommend rereading the classics that were assigned to you in high school; you may find that they're nothing like they were before.
