Dear Mr. Hoffmann. In your post on proofreading you have a sentence with 68 words including a number. A sentence requiring 9 commas seems a little long. If I were reading this in a newspaper article, I would feel they needed a new proofreader. I would assume the University of Oregon in Eugene would be enough said without another comma saying Oregon and then continue on about the rest of your great life. I think you need to proofread your own post and maybe crank a 68 word sentence down to a couple of more easy to read ones. The only degree I have is in BS, which I am quite good at. There are probably a couple of grammar and punctuation errors in my post but I don't give a crap.
