 I'll just make one comment, in general:

 Why is it, in all my fifty years, that when I have seen or heard
mistprints or other mistakes in an advertisers pricing, they have all been
too_low_ - that is, they would entice people to buy or go to the
advertisers location? 

 If they were _mistakes_, is it not common sense to assume that about 50%
would be high, and 50% low! <G>

 But it just does not seem to happen that way! <G>
