I was wondering "How many forum members does it take to change a spark plug?"
1 to change the spark plug and to post that the spark plug has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing spark plugs and how the spark plug could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing spark plugs
1 to move it to the Off top section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing spark plugs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "sparkplug" or "spark plug" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "plug"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "spark plug" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about spark plugs and to please take this discussion to a water cooled forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use spark plugs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing spark plugs is superior, where to buy the best spark plugs, what brand of spark plugs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different spark plugs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes spark plugs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the spark plug controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on spark plugs before posting questions about spark plugs"
1 to hijack the thread and ask about tire pressures, thus starting a completely new line of converation further cloudy the answer.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
Isn't the internet a wealth of knowledge! :lol: :lol:
