> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nines times Nymph \* > \*\*Now I’m upset and sad, and I don’t wanna be Nines _sigh_ \*\* Wild guess here, but it seems to me that if your original request for the change was for **_Nine_ times Nymph** , yet the Mod/Admin mistakenly changed it to **Nines** instead, I would think you should be able to negotiate a correction. But **WomanofScorn** is right … it is even more mysterious. ---

The way it rolls off the tongue and no s on the Nine, a mistake has been made by the powers-that-be (don’t smite me with fireballs, please!). It’s odd, the main reason, just like me… ---

Woohooo!!! congrats! I came into MPSIMS just to see if you had a thread here! (of course, that’s cuz I wanted to see why I had addressed you as Sanguine and you showed up as Nines but hey… :)) ---

Ah, don’t worry too much about it, you can probably get it fixed. _gives you a cake for no reason_ Well, okay, the reason is because I’m lame and I give out e-cake. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nines times Nymph \* > **SanguineSpider has become Nine times Nymph…** Coincidentally (or not?) on the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the _Edmund Fitzgerald_, which Gordon Lightfoot commemorated in a song that noted that “[t]he church bell chimed till it rang twenty- **nine times** ”, once for each mariner who lost his life on [that stormy Lake Superior night](http://www.corfid.com/gl/Albums/Songbook/The_Wreck_Of_the_Edmund_Fitzgerald.htm).

Does this mean I’ll have to come up with [entirely new impressions of you](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=217714)? 😉 Not to worry, I’ll have it announced for you in [the Official Record of Name Changes Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=205713)… with the contentious “s” in parentheses, of course. Hopefully, you can get it changed. At any rate… you’re a good person in my books, **Nine Times Nymph**. 🙂 F\_X ---

Sorry, F\_X, I beat you to it with the new impressions. 😃 9TN, you’re in good company with the high post count. 🙂 And I hope you get the “s” fixed soon! Oh and you may have noticed I also changed my username recently. ---

**NTN** : I can be naughty, but I have no whip. Oh well, maybe I’ll buy one eventually. 😉 **cityboy916** : If you beat me to them, there ain’t nothing I can do about it. I’ve been on the phone to certain people from 8 till 10:45. Now, I’ll go into that thread… and do my own thing. 😃 (notice that one particular letter ain’t in my writing here 😃 ) F\_X ---
