spark plugs on the forum
"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.
6 to ask what is the correct gap setting.
2 to ask what is a 'feeler gauge'
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 wtf.
4 to ask what is a wtf?
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...."

1 post from a Toyota owner about how his tundra is better than them others.
And 1 lonely post, from a nice, but slightly confused elderly lady wanting the "google machine" to give her a potato salad recipe.
Tim
P.s. 72 people posting potato salad recipes.

Agreed. And that is proof that when we look at something from all the different angles, most views are different from our own.

I am not familiar with that X term, but I started in auto parts in '81 and they were still stocked some of the multi-piece type plugs.
We got in an AC plug one time with no threads on it.... I had more fun with that plug telling guys the '80 whatever year GM cars were coming out with press in plugs and you would have to go to the dealer to have them changed(back the you had to change plugs pretty often). They would get all fired up and raise cane about tapping out the heads and so forth...
