How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post 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
1 to move it to the Lighting section after 2 have argued to move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
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
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what supermarkets are offering discounts on brands of light bulbs, and what customer service they expect in a lightbulb shop
4 to say that they've been disappointed in Lightbulb Live for the last 4 years
12 to ask why those 4 keep going to Lightbulb Live only to complain about it
1 to break the news about the new limited release light bulb
1 to post that the news was already broken in another thread and start a poll about reading entire threads
12 to post that they shouldn't mention limited releases because someone might buy them to resell
1 to insist he has every right to buy and sell lightbulbs
1 to obsessively insist that no-one should make profit from lightbulbs on this forum
5 to post that they've collected 11 of the limited edition lightbulbs already so might as well get the whole set.
32 to not bother posting because there's no post count showing anymore
8 to say that their electric company sent them 4 free lightbulbs, when quite clearly they would have preferred the moon on a stick.
6 to post thinly veiled criticisms of forum staff's management of lightbulbs
15 to post that forum staff can do exactly as they want with their own lightbulbs
6 to pretend they were just asking innocent questions about lightbulb management and didn't do anything wrong
1 to ask that forum staff backup all mention of lightbulbs so they can write a book about their really interesting life with lightbulbs
11 to reply that it's not a personal lightbulb anecdote storage facility
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including pictures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. ]]> Off-Topic sambrinar http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/52358-how-many-fourm-members-does-take-change-lightbulb.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/52352-happy-veterans-day.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:58:34 GMT Today of course is the most important day we here in America have.

I just like to say thanks to everyone that had responded to my questions during august and september and questions i had ask off and on during this month(october).

All I can say everyone rocks on RS. I know during the month of August when I first joined RS, I had vistited other forums, but RS feels to be the forum I want to be very active on for some reason, and it kinda shows with a little bit over 270 post I made since I joined.

Even though I don't have a reef tank, because it's a extremely slow build because of my budget. Originally it was looking like this first reef tank wouldn't be up and running until about 2012, but the way things look I'm kinda pushing it up to have a reef up and running even if it's cycling the tank by then end of december 2010.

So if you see me post in the Equipment/DIY forum asking a question about something, it's because this would be the only way I can meet this deadline for december 31, 2010.

Once I do get my first reef up it would look bare even though I have corals and inverts in it, it would be because for corals, I'll have to go with frags mostly. I will edit my signature as time goes by when it calls for something to be changed ]]> Off-Topic SiNiStEr NaTiOn http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/52020-like-say-thanks-everyone-here-rs.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/52006-anatomy-boat-delivery.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:19:55 GMT This summer I bought a new boat. The problem was that my marina is on the north shore of Long Island and the boat was on the south shore. I sailed it around with only a few problems. My closest friend, and fellow Captain Richie, is in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and he brought the boat around with me. He published an article about the journey in the Coast Guard publication.

other specifications coming soon, but has anybody tried out the Phenom II chip?

I kinda support AMD not because they're the fastest, but they're the little engine they could.. brief amount of history:

started by Intel to create a less expensive line of a similar chip (486 days .. heh).. shotly after they got going, maybe a couple processor generations.. Intel turned them loose -- thinking that they would die and wernt quiet about it.. and had a couple generations they took part in and bombed after that.. but after the AMD K6-3 which was prolly their biggest failure, they created the athlon, which slaughtered the pentium 3 and forced them to speed up development on the Pentium 4.. and then slayed the first few pentium 4s with the Athlon Thunderbird.. which started the battle we have today. AMD had lots of firsts, but Intel always caught up and beat them down later. right now we're phase of the cycle that Intel has a clear lead in performance.. but only if you're willing to pay 2-4x as much money for the chip (phenom ii 965 is just over $200.. the weakest intel chip that can beat it is $600-something.. and that goes all the way up to $1200)...

interesting. yes, i support the little guy here. price wise makes sense, idealogy wise makes sense, i cant see a problem, can you? ]]> Off-Topic Intranick http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/51924-ot-new-toy.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/51868-car-photos.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:26:59 GMT Just a few photos I did earlier this month that i'm working on for the owners.

But I'm still going to build a reef system, and I had found allot of usefulo information here from threads I read and even the questions I had asked.

I shall return (does that sounds familiar for those that is familiar with WWII from a certain general. lol)

No but really I will be back just don't know when because I don't know how long I'm gonna have to go without a internet connection (this is gonna suck what no net!) :cry1: :cry1:

I figure by the time I do get back online I should have my 20 nano built by then and who knows I might done started on my 90 reef project. But when I do start on the nano I'll be keeping logs of the build and stuff as I go, so I can create a reef chronicle of that journey.

Have fun everyone and keep on reefing. :):) ]]> Off-Topic SiNiStEr NaTiOn http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/off-topic/51356-have-say-short-goodbye.html
