130. Well two out of a few hundred thousand is clearly an air tight case.
Regarding my mistakes in grammar and spelling. It is usually a case of laziness and not fully proofreading. But in this case it is me getting used to new technology. I recently upgraded to a "Droid Incredible" and posted via it's browser. Built into the text editor is a program that guesses at what word you are trying to type with the itty bitty touch pad. Often it guesses wrong or my less than nimble fingers hit a letter incorrectly. When you press the space key thinking you have typed out the word you want it automatically enters the word it's guessing. If I am not looking real hard at what just got entered it gets posted.

But most of the time it's just not diligently proofreading. Also I did not grow up using a computer and have found if I really want to proof read something I must print it out, and frankly posting to a BB does not merit that much effort.
