OT - How many Sonar forum users to change a lightbulb?

Having not been a contributor here for very long here are my first impressions of this 'Mosh Pit' of collective knowledge.

So how many does it take to change that light bulb.

1. The One who actually changes the Bulb.

2. One to say "it was probably a mains spike that put the light out I'd advise an electrician check out the wiring, as the whole electrical system was wrong to start with."

3. One to say why are you putting a 50 cent light bulb in that $500 dollar lamp shade.

4. One to point out that a energy saving bulb should have gone in there.

5. Another one to argue the point that the energy saving bulb would produce the wrong kind of light.

6. Another who points out that the ambient light readings he's getting from this new bulb are 0.0034% less than the previous one.

7. Another who says "Why did you pay 50 cents for that bulb, I get them for 42 cents at Acme Light Bulb World."

8. One more who says Acme Light Bulb World's after sales support sucks.

9. One to say the new light bulb has solved his latency issues.

10. Another to confirm his suspicions that the magnetic reflux from the new bulb is interfering with his USB devices.

11. Another points out that HE/SHE shouldn't have changed the light bulb until they have made 5000 plus posts on the forum.

12. 12 merely types '+1'.

13. Is the 'old fart' that insists gas mantles used to produce a 'warmer' light with a richer character.

14. Blames Cakewalk because he swears that nowhere near as many light bulbs used to blow before version 7 came out.

15. Informs us that Cubase's flourescent tube system means that he never has to change a light bulb. But he condescends to visit us here not because he's unhappy with the flourescent tube system but rather to help us in our suffering.

16. Tells us that if we used the crystal glass bulb he uses which have the latest laser treated, tungsten, carbon fibre hybrid alloy filament and are argon/freon gas filled during the space shuttle missions in no atmospheric, zero gravity conditions at $4000 a piece we'd save a mint in the long run.

That's at least 16 there's many more I've left out. I'm sure you can all add to that list.

I'll tell you what, I moderate a football (soccer) forum here in the UK and for all their passionate and partisan loyalties they are actually better behaved than you lot.

You complete rabble!

I know, I know, and you're right I obviously haven't got anything better to do, and yes I probably fit in perfectly

Yep, sounds like a forum to me.

You say that like it's a bad thing

That is some funny prose though (thumbsup)

sonar users aint afraid of the dark...8)

20. None, your supposed to use your ears. Therefore you don't need a light bulb

There is no such thing like a lightbulb, Jonbouy...

No you are right again, I think 'lamp' is the right terminology.

Nice one Tom, I'd say this one's currently leading the pack.

Please change all references to numbers to be "20%-40%" and I'll believe you're a REAL forumite.

Well, it would make it 20-40% more likely.

Brilliant!
(Depending on the successful replacement of course)

However, I understand that the light bulb has probably changed in this version, but I still can't find how to activate the switch. Could it be my kind of darkness?

23. Like 12 just to say "BUMP" instead.

24. Questions whether new bulb will work with {insert preferred OS version here}
25. Wonders if new bulb will be more stable, or just have more unnecessary features?
26. Suggests the OC (original changer) has stolen the bulb

Are you using 32 or 64 bit bulbs and how do 32 bit bulbs perform under BitBridge?

When I turn on/off my light my subwoofer pops...

28) Someone to point out that while yes this light bulb lasts longer, has more features and costs less, its still not the industry standard.

30) Starts an incredibly off-topic personal attack against one of the previous posters, leading the thread in to a five-page war until the mods finally move it to OT.

32/ Someone who looks incredibly like Brian Eno considers the temporary darkness, then feels inspired to set the 'Chopsticks' tune to an obscure gamelan tuning.
