good one!
I think most of my near-500 posts are me restating questions, asking stupid ones, talking rubbish or the odd flame war!

How many Esatonians does it take to to screw in a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post 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
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term
is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light
bulb" is perfectly correct
156 to email the moderators complaining that they are in violation of
their "acceptable use policy"
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please
take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
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 URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they
cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ
44 to ask what is a "FAQ"
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting
questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again
15 to post how changing the lightbulb quicker does not necessarily mean changing it better, as useless unscrewing motions were probably used

While i would agree with that, i would like to point out that your industry experts are wrong. "Lamp" is the term for the entire apparatus, the correct term is indeed "lightbulb"
