1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
4 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
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"
5 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
6 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what supermarkets are offering discounts on brands of light bulbs, and what customer service they expect in a lightbulb shop
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
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
Aaargh I spelled Freepers wrong. Can you help out?
And one old-timer to say, GOOD JOB!
Don’t forget one noobie to claim to be a conservative and state a ridiculously extreme position in hopes of making free republic look bad.
what about the 10 to call the light bulb changer a RINO commie pig they would never vote for!
And don’t get me started about Compact Flourescent Lamps!
The number of FReepers needed depends on whether they are turning the bulb in the same direction.
(And of course whether it’s a right or left handed bulb.)
Light bulbs are a communist plot!
LoL!
You Forgot:
2- 1 to argue that we were intelligently designed to change light bulbs, and one to argue that all non-lightbulb changers have been eliminated by natural selection.
And 12 to bookmark to read later.
And one more noobie who claims to be very concerned about how bad we are making the entire coservative movement look because we are wasting our time talking about changing light bulbs.

...and the whole gang to post in before the ZOT...
And, a British poster to point out that an American 120v light bulb would immediately burn out in one of their 220v fixtures.
One to start a lightbulb “ping” list so that all future postings about this lightbulb get met with the same bashing.
Only 10?
Don’t forget those who would blame the fact that light bulbs burn out on illegal immigrants.
