Post MMT members and a lightbulb...
How Many MMT Group Members Does it Take to Change a LightBulb? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

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

Fourteen 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.

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

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct 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 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 light bulbs
and there fore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six 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.

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different 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 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 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 light bulbs before posting questions
about light bulbs"

Three to tell a funny story about their show dog and a light bulb.

AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with
Something unrelated they found at snopes.Com and start the crap all over
again!!!!!!

Prodrive members will unscrew the bulb quicker, but Gatortail members will screw it in faster.

Only union MMT members can change the lightbulb.

There are no lightbulbs going off in this forum.

I'll have to check whether it's legal to change that bulb.

Didn't anyone catch the brilliant double-entendre:

"There are no light bulbs going off in this forum"

There! I've spelled it out again.

Chuck,
What are you planning to do with it? If you want it to shine, then they all work about the same.

I have an older light bulb i'm looking to sell so that i can trade up to a newer, faster, brighter bulb...I also posted this in the classifieds, reviews, and recipe forums so that more people will see it.

Post Re: MMT members and a lightbulb...
I read somewhere that if you cut the light bulb in half and replace the stock filament with an aftermarket one, it will shine brighter. Make sure you are careful when melting the two halves back together. Oh, it should not hurt the lifespan of the original bulb, nor should there be any more maintenance.
