GBlist: "Light" list humor

 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 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.
           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
             controversey.
          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.
