I agree with this poster - to is correct, loose is not - should be lose

I only care about how something is spelled when it's a real post, and not
some blathering spam, anyway, and even then, in a real post, I just let
the spelling, typos, and grammar slide ;)

Not if he meant "29 people needed weight that was too loose"
or (in the subject line) "the #1 weight that was way too
loose".

I think J.W. Ott was being sarcastic about the extra 'o' in lose... since it
was spelled "loose" then "to" should be "too" just to make them match.
That's how I took it anyway.
