A grain of truth here as one who follows a few groups.
Q: How many
Internet mail list members does it take to change a light
bulb?
A:
1,331:
One to change the light bulb and to post to the mail 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.
Seven 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.
156 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.
109 to post that this list is not about light
bulbs and to please take
this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb.
203
to demand that cross-posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling, and
alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.
111 to defend
the posting to this list saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore
the posts **are** relevant to this mail list.
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 URLs where one can see examples of different light
bulbs.
14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post
corrected URLs.
Three to post about links they found from the URLs
that are relevant
to this 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."
12 to post to the
list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot
handle the light bulb
controversy.
19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."
Four
to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

alt.smoking. pipes was meant for, leave it
here.
