You forgot the 20 to post Youtube video links of people changing lightbulbs!

You forgot to add:

1 resident weirdo to post a crackpot comment which has almost nothing to do with changing lightbulbs and hence derails an innocuous thread into a deep philsophical debate that somehow manages to offend everyone reading it.

(sorry, I had to include a cameo...hope you enjoyed)

Unless one wants to be banned, the admin always counts.

hmmm... the admin counts?

If it wasn't for him there would be hundreds, so since he has an effect I say he counts.

One of those life questions that will never be solved...

Wrong.

1 to actually change the lightbulb.

212 that pose as if they have changed a lightbulb.

1 adminstrator to delete 210 of the 212 "posing" lightbulb changers.

Which leaves 3?
