7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 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

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

Or worse, they post, you reply without realising it's a zombie thread, wander off, they delete their post, and everyone starts roaring at you!! :rolleyes:

Happened to me a couple of weeks back ...

afaik they'd have to delete it while you were typing your response, because once someone replies you can't delete your post.

Yes, ofc you can ... it's only if the person replying has quoted you that it becomes fairly pointless to delete ...

Anyway ... this is wandering off-topic ...
