has been changed.
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light 
bulb could have been changed differently.

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 are 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

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this
list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.



....received this anonymously on the internet, but apologize to whoever wrote 
it for not giving adequate credit.
