Default We have a GREAT forum!

I picked this little goodie up on another forum/list and thought I would pass it on. It made me realize how great WCI Message board is.

How many list members does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: 422.

1 to change the lightbulb and post it to the list that the bulb has been changed.
14 to respond and share similar experiences.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing lightbulbs.
27 to point out spelling errors and grammatical errors in postings about changing lightbulbs.
53 to flame the spell-checkers.
156 to write to the administrator to complain about the lightbulb discussion and its inappropriateness on the list.
111 to defend the relevance of the lightbulb discussion.
27 to post website addresses where one can see different examples of lightbulbs.
14 to complain that the website addresses are incorrect and post correct ones.
12 to "leave the list forever" because they can't handle the lightbulb controversy.

Matches? What's that? Must be some new fanggle danggle thing eh?

Flint and steel and once in a while bow and stick. If we are lucky, after lightning has struck, we take what is burnning to light a candle!

I agree Susan, Great, knowledgable and entertaining board. For sure!

Regarding lightblubs.........there are lightblubs and heavyblubs. Regular lightblubs are what happens when you pull the plug in your bathtub.........BLUB!

Heavyblubs usually occur in nuclear reactors in heavy water, just before a core meltdown.........BLUB!!!!!

That's the simplified version of the whole scientific priciple of "neutral neutron neurological neuter gender neutralization"

A more complete description can be found in my treatise on the development of the general theory of related ivities. It's rather long and involved so I won't attempt to bore you with the deatails. Suffice it to say............................................... .

BLUB!!!!!!

Susan, your presence at the open house would have made my weekend. What a treat it was to sit in on sessions taught by such talented carvers! I did buy a couple more of your books, so you were there in spirit (and now in my bookcase). Mike
