     Nope, that was *not* my response to your question ("How many do you   
   have?"). I answered your question and gave details my apps which have   
   read permission for contacts.   
      
     What you quote (below) is a much later response and *not* related to   
   your question, but, as evidenced by the attribution, to what Carlos   
   posted.   
      
     Moral: Read for comprehension and do not engage your army of straw   
   men.
