I'm sure most Grey Nomad members will see the humour in this.
How Many forum Users Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?
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. 17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions. 6 to argue over whether its lightbulb or light bulb. Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid. 22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jackasses. 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. 249 to post memes and gifs (several are of someone eating popcorn with the words added, Im just here for the comments.) 19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page. 11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here. 12 to post F. 8 to ask what F means. 16 to post Following but theres 3 dots at the top right that means you dont have to. 3 to say cant share 2 to reply cant share from a closed group 36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs. 15 People to post I cant see S$%^! and use their own light bulbs. 6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said f÷×$ 4 to say Didnt we go through this already a short time ago?. 13 to say Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs. 1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isnt the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments. 50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. 5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously. 1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.

Plus 5 to copy and paste entire original post complete with 3 unrelated photos requiring 5.7 Megabytes to download, as they're too lazy to edit.

Good one Santa.
That analysis has been around since the dawn of Usenet (news groups) and is as true today as when I first saw it around 1994.
People don't change :)
