  Karl ­ that may be old, but its very very good ( a bit like a fine wine,
  perhaps ;p)

  Thanks for that ­ it made me laugh out loud, and perfectly summarises list
  madness

  Its an oldy but a goody:

  Q:  How many internet mail list subscribers does it take  to change a
  light bulb?


  A:  1,331:

  1 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.

  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

  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 are all using
  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.

  3 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."

  4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

  1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.

  47 to say this is just what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for,
  leave it here.

  143 votes for alt.lite.bulb.
