ead Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Stolen from elsewhere, made me laugh....could easily sub Basschat and some bass related topic I fear! How many Facebook group members does it take to change a spark plug? 1 to change the spark plug and to post that 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. 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing spark plugs. 15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "spark plug" is an electrical device threaded into the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine to ignite the fuel mixture by producing timed sparks between electrodes. 2 to post that this group is not about spark plugs and to please take this discussion to a spark plug group. 27 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use spark plugs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group. 16 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. 2 to post URL's where one can see examples of different spark plugs. 12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the spark plug controversy. 4 to suggest that posters request the spark plugs FAQ. 16 to post "F". 44 to ask what is a "F"? 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 3 to say "do a Google search on spark plugs before posting questions about spark plugs". 14 to post photos of spark plugs they own. 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 People say that Facebook groups will be the death of forums. Not without substantial work and refinement they won't, the format doesn't lend itself to conversation and the tone of the discourse is usually pitiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was C-reg - but to reference another thread in this sub-forum; it did have a fake "Quattro" logo, and it actually was bloomin' annoying that spark plugs came in multi-packs of 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
