14 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 light bulbs relevant to this group

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

...and maybe one or two will request a "lightbulb blinkie" on the suggestions forum. :lol:

lol, you forgot to add:

300 to discuss whether Mike Tice is as smart as a light bulb.

LOL RK, made my day..., why do I have a feeling that this post applies specifically to PP.O?

Good one Rocky :lol:

Here is a link to another site, on the same topic, that I really like. Look through the Flame Warrior Roster and I am sure you will find at least a couple of our PPO members in there. :wink: In fact you might even find yourself. :P
