paulo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 7 to start 8 different threads asking how to change a light bulb 2 to point out that the OP has already asked the same question in another thread 3 to berate the OP for not giving enough information re the type of the light bulb and how old it is 1 to show distain that the OP has the nerve to even post on the forum without first knowing such basics. 1 to ask exactly what they were doing when the lightbulb stopped working 1 to suggest just reinstalling the current lightbulb to see what happens 2 to suggest that something must have been changed within the lightbulb as it has always worked fine before. 4 to argue whether the correct term is lightbulb or light bulb. 6 more to point out that there are already several threads asking the same question 1 to ask if they have read the manual that came with their light bulb. 1 to say that they’ve looked and can’t find any manual anywhere 2 to post links to old versions of the manual that are more or less the same. 1 to start a new thread moaning about people who start new threads about light bulbs when there are already several on the same subject on page 1 alone. 2 to point out to that person that they have effectively just started another one. 1 to start a thread moaning about people who start threads moaning about people moaning. 7 to like that thread 18 to tell you that they don’t need to change their light bulb as theirs is working just fine. 3 to tell you that you’re using the wrong kind of light bulbs. 6 to tell you that they stopped using light bulbs years ago. 4 to tell you that they’re still using candles, so they have never had to change a light bulb. 15 to tell you 10 different ways of changing it. None of these methods apply to the type of light bulb fitting that the OP has. 1 to copy and paste their answer into some, but not all of the many threads. 2 to say that this topic was already covered a while ago - learn how to use the search function. 1 to say that they didn’t even know there was a search function and it doesn’t work anyway. 1 to drop an “amusing” anecdote where they once had to change a light bulb while a semi famous person was in the room. 3 to mock them 4 to tell those mocking people to stop mocking them 2 to post popcorn eating emojis 1 to say that they’ve run out of popcorn 2 to report the thread because they are upset by the tone of some posts 3 to moan that the threads should all be moved to the coffee house because displays of humour shouldn’t be allowed to interrupt the very serious business of discussing illumination science. 1 moderator to appeal for calm whilst secretly hoping that someone will give them enough excuse to lock the thread because no point in having a Sheriff’s badge if you can't wave it around occasionally. 1 industry pro to remind you that they are an industry pro who has written a book on the subject and where you can buy it. 4 to post you tube videos made by people who talk too much that - eventually - give you a rough idea how to do it. 1 to make a home made video in yet another new thread about how he does it. 2 staff members to say that the method of changing light bulbs has now been improved and will be in the lightbulb update that will be released soon. Note that they have covered both bases in the light bulb v lightbulb debate. 3 to ask how long is soon? 1 to start another thread telling people to learn to be patient, that the new way will definitely be worth the wait, implying that they have some kind of inside knowledge (they don’t) 1 to ask that person if they have some knowledge that others are not aware of. 6 to notice that that the person that question was directed to never answers it. 1 to resurrect the thread 2 years later to ask if any answer was ever given because their light bulb has just stopped working. 2 2 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You forgot: 1 to mention that with REAPER, you can set up a track to emit light. Another to mention that while the UI isn't for everyone, MeldaProduction's MBulb allows you to modulate the light output in an infinite number of ways.
