How many motorcyclists does it take to change a light bulb?

1 to red rep the original poster for discussing lightbulbs in the "mechanicals" forum.

2 to start flaming each other over the repping incident.

5 to discuss how childish it is getting pissed over rep.

1 moderator to move the whole thing to pointless drivel as a result of the word "cunt" being used during the flame war, regardless of whether or not the thread actually contained any useful information on changing lightbulbs.
