Michael, so true! But maybe the list should also include (with a healthy
dose of cynicism)
* 7 to argue whether the procedure for changing light bulbs was
carried out according to the charter
* 3 suggesting that a separate mailing list be set up to deal with the
subject of light bulb change processes
* 1 outlining the history of light bulb changes within this list
* 1 wondering why the light bulb wasn't changed about 9 months ago
* 2 exploring the human rights and privacy implications of changing a
light bulb
* 1 suggesting this should be left to the technical community
* 2 arguing whether technical community is the correct term for the
technical community
* 1 suggesting that this is not an internet governance matter
* 1 outlining a process to draw up a list of those who are eligible to
change light bulbs

Ah, the foolishness one finds in other email lists. I'm glad that we are
immune... ;-)

How many subscribers to a web email list
does it take to change a light bulb?
ANSWER:
* 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.
* 41 to correct the 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.'
* 27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different
light bulbs.
* 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 an FAQ?'
* 2 to post reasons why the light bulb burning out is the
result of a government conspiracy.
* 4 to say, 'Didn't we go through this already a short
time ago?'
* 43 to say, 'Do a Google search on light bulbs.'
* 1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from
now and start it all over again.
