1 to restart the thread years later.

3 to complain about restarting the "old" changing light bulb thread.

1 to post that even though they don't like to see "old" threads restarted, they are pleased to see the "old" changing light bulb thread restarted because it is the orgin of some of the most famious forums sayings, and is therefore an important historic thread that all new members should read.

2 newbes to post how glad they have been able to post in the historic "changing light bulb thread".

[What?]

And last, but not least, one to start a whole new thread on the same subject a week after everyone finally loses interest in the original...

That's 1386.

Nah - 1387 after Spanky closes the thread.
