HOW MANY GLIDER PILOTS DOES IT TAKE 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" ...
another 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"

Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.

AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again.

I know some will have seen it but it is Soooooo!!!!!! True {

Are we talking about clear or frosted lightbulbs/light-bulbs/light
bulbs/lamps ?

I don't get it..



Are we talking about light bulbs in the shop, in the trailer, or on the
tow vehicle? Nobody has light bulbs in their glider do they?

Could we expand this to include lighting and backlighting within
instruments and PDA's? Then, yes, some of us have light
bulbs/lightbulbs in the glider.

Oops!

I may have really meant back lighting.... not backlighting... always
wondered about that one. And if the light is really in the back, how
does it get through to the front? Would "side light" not be more
accurate?

Yes, but PDA lights can't be changed by the pilot, so they should be
discussed in an entirely different thread. This thread is about light
bulbs in the clubhouse, and I wish people would stay on the thread topic.

We have 8-foot tubes in the club house, floods in one hangar, and
incandescents in the other hangar and loos.

The cost of changing light bulbs is driving people out of soaring.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

Bayonet Cap or Edison Screw? 110v, 220v, AC or low voltage DC, halogen,
quartz iodine, long life low energy neon or just plain old tungsten.

God, some people are so bloody general!

By the way in South Africa they're called globes not bulbs.

ditto on the 'couldn't resist' bit.
