OT: List Behavior

Observation on List Behavior

From another list (the single overhead cam 4 honda bike list...), an
observation on list behavior...humorous...reminded me of this one.

CYBERBULBS

Q: How many people does it take to change a light bulb in cyberspace?

A: 1 to successfully change the light bulb and to post to the mail list 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.

53 to flame the spell checkers.

156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb
discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list.

41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please take this
email exchange to alt.lite.bulb.

203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and
alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.

111 to defend the posting to this list, saying that, "We are all using light
bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list."

306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy
the best light bulbs, what brands of light bulb work best for this
technique, and what brands are faulty.

27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and to post corrected
URLs.

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to
this list, which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.

33 to collate all posts to date, then quote them including all headers and
footers, and then add "Me Too."

12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.

19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.

47 to say that this is just what this list was meant for, leave it here.

143 votes for a new list: alt.lite.bulb.

38 votes proclaiming the advantages in using vintage light bulbs.

Foglight Fix?

Actually I'm still having a problem with my fog lights! They won't come on. Changed relay, checked fuse. What next? Could the switch be bad, I can't imagine that it would be.

Hi Jeff, hey you might need 2 new fog lamp bulbs so get out the volt meter and check for voltage at the lamp also check the ground.
If no voltage check the fuse,replace it .
if still no joy check and see if your getting voltage to the switch you will find the problem........stan
