HOW MANY LIST MEMBERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB in a ICOM?

  One to change the light bulb and to post that the ICOM light bulb has been
  changed.

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

  Seven to caution about the dangers of changing ICOM light bulbs.

  Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about
  changing  ICOM light bulbs.

  Five to flame the ICOM spell checkers.

  Three to correct ICOM spelling/grammar flames.

  Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ....
  another six to condemn those six as stupid.

  Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the
  correct spelling.

  Nineteen to post that this group is not about ICOM light bulbs and to
  please  take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

  Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use ICOM 
light
  bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

  Thirty six to debate which method of changing ICOM light bulbs is 
superior,
  where to buy the best ICOM light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work
  best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

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

  Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
  corrected URL.

  Three to post about links they found from! the URLs that are relevant
  to this group which makes ICOM light bulbs relevant to this group.

  Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety
  including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

  Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they
  cannot handle the ICOM light bulb controversy.

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

  Thirteen to say "do a Google search on ICOM light bulbs before posting
  questions about ICOM light bulbs"

  Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a ICOM light bulb.

  AND

  One ICOM group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now 
and
  start it all over again.


Sorry guys I just could not help myself on this one :-)
