Maybe they just got a little excited that the message was going to be cast in cement on the top of a mountain. After all, whomever climbs it will see it! (Or should that mean they should have used spell-check?)

Whoever wrote the comment with the word "whomever" used erroneously should be corrected. After all, spell check can only do so much :)
