Since rubber really isn’t recyclable, any amount that you can keep out of the waste stream is better. 30 is probably too many but 2 is too few.
There are NEVER misunderstandings regarding intent in electronic communications!
Everyone knows that! This is the future, you see!!
The "more than two" is typically at one time, as I figure at so much per patch + my time that putting 3 or more patches on at once isn't efficient. But if the tube already has 8 good patches and I add one or two more, that's no biggie.
(here is where an economist would come bursting in and say "There's no difference!!" This is why we don't invite them.)
