Thanks Graham, but what does this have to do with Leica?

Got this from another list:


How many list members to change a light bulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been
changed.  Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs
and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. Seven to
caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. Seven more to point
out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.  Five
to flame the spell checkers.  Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" and a further
six to condemn those six as stupid. Fifteen to claim experience in the
lighting industry and give the correct spelling.  Nineteen to post that
this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion
to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.  Eleven to defend the posting to
the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are
relevant to this group. Thirty-six 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.
Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL.  Three to post about links they found from the URLs that
are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this
group.  Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety
including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".  Five to post to
the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the
light bulb controversy.  Four to say "didn't we go through this already
a short time ago?"  Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs
before posting questions about light bulbs"  Thirteen to say that the
archives are full of light-bulb posts. Three to tell a funny story about
their cat and a light bulb.  And finally, one group lurker to respond to
the original post six months from now and start it all over again.
