    Q: How many list subscribers does it take to change a light bulb?
    A: 1,001 --

    1 to change the light bulb and to post to the list that the light
    bulb has been changed.

    14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
    light bulb could have been changed differently.

    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.

    106 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb
    discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list.

    41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

    99 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please
    take this email
    exchange to private email.

    113 to demand that cross posting to other mail lists about changing
    light bulbs be stopped.

    101 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use light
    bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list.

    156 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior,
    where to buy the
    best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best, and
    what brands are faulty

    27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

    14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post
    corrected URLs.

    3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to
    the list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.

    33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote them including all
    headers and footers, and then add "Me Too."

    19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."

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

    4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

    1 to propose a new "Light Bulb Changing" Mail List.

    47 to say this is just what the list was meant for.

    123 votes for the new list.

    I have to point out that spelling errors, even when they are NOT made are completely irrelevant!
