The FFML just recently passed 1350 subscribers.  Just the other day, I
found a curious well timed joke.  After reading this, I wondered how many
of that 1350 would be left if this were to occur...

       Q: How many list subscribers does it take to change a light bulb?

       A: 1,331:

       1 to change the light bulb and to post to the 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.

       41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

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

       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 all
       use 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 brand of
       light bulbs 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 summarize some or 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 this is just what the FFML was meant for, 
       leave it here.

       143 votes for alt.change.lite.bulb.


I'm betting 20.
