Here's a cute joke that I received on another mailing list. If you
think this is off topic then you really haven't been reading the list
lately!
Question: How many mailing list members does it take to change a
light bulb?
Answer: 422.
One to change the light bulb and to post to the list that the light
bulb has been changed;
14 to share similar experiences;
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;
111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use
light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to the mail list;
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light
bulbs;
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly, and to post
corrected URL's;
6 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they
cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
Oh yeah, and 6 to post to the list that the guy who sent the light
bulb joke has not got his arithmetic correct and that it only
takes 416 list members to change a light bulb.
