A:  1,331:

     1 to change the light bulb and to post to the mail
       list that the light bulb has been changed
    14 to share similar experiences of changing light
       bulbs and how the light bulb could have been
       changed differently.
     7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

       changing light bulbs.
    53 to flame the spell checkers
   156 to write to the list administrator complaining about
       the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness
       to this mail list.
    41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.
   109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and
       to please take this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb

       alt.spelling and alt.punctuation about changing
       light bulbs be stopped.

   306 to debate which method of changing light

       what brand of light bulbs work best for this
       technique, and what brands are faulty.

       different light bulbs
    14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and

     2 to post about links they found from the URLs that
       are relevant to this list which makes light bulbs
       relevant to this list.
    33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote
       them including all headers and footers, and then
       add "Me Too."
    12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing
       because they cannot handle the light bulb
       controversy.
    19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."
     4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.
