As I am an elitist pig, I thought I would correct the obvious grammar and syntax errors in Coolie's last post:

1 - The punctuation should be a question mark, not a period.
2 - This is awkward in context - consider a revision.
3 - Incorrect usage of the pronoun for the contraction.

4 - This paragraph is fragmentary and choppy. Consider a revision.

5 - The word "tons" implies mass, not quantity. You should use the word "many". Also, using "tons" twice is redundant.
6 - The sentence subject should agree with the plural to which it refers.
7 - This is phrased awkwardly. Consider a revision.
