In the **Edit profile** function, there is a place to “Confim (sic) password”: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) Also, in the **Users Options** function, it says, “Are you trying to edit someone else’s (sic) post…?”, and “If you are trying to post, to (sic) administration may have disabled your account…” Plus, the sentence “You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to” is awfully clunky; can’t this be re-arranged so that it doesn’t end in a preposition?

Access Permission Status: You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to access. The page that you were trying to access? You can’t access it. Sorry. Come back when you’ve got permission. You don’t have permission to access that page, loser. Try again. Access Denied! You didn’t say “Mother, may I…” Guess why you can’t access that page …Nope…Nope…Nope… It is beyond the scope of this application to allow you to access the page in question. You did not present evidence of permission to access that page. You can’t access that page until you come back with a note from your doctor, saying you have permission to access it. Do you understand what the word “permission” means? Do you understand what the word “denied” means? Do you understand what the word “no” means? Does your mom know you’re using her computer? ---

Oh, what a lovely entry. Would you mind being a little polite, PosterWithVeryLongAndNotReallyWittyName? Kindly ignore him, folks. ---

Ducky was insulting also. But I guess he’s not a newbie. No, there’s no cliques here. ---

Cliques? Wait, don’t tell me. You lurked a long time, right? ---

Duck Duck was obviously making up joke replacements that don’t end in a preposition. How anyone could miss that is really beyond me, unless they were purposely trying to miscostrue her words. If you’re going to register a whole new sock puppet or two, at least do it to complain about something that makes sense. ---

“If you’re going to register a whole new sock puppet or two, at least do it to complain about something that makes sense.” Is that a new game? Can two play? ---

(How come you always think of the right words after you post 😕 ) “If you’re going to register a whole new sock puppet or two, at least do it to complain about something that makes sense.” Is that what you do? Be honest now ::runs and hides:: ---

RepurposedNuclearNosecone was obviously making up joke as well. See the cute smiley? Crank it up to 11, though was yanking Colfire’s chain, just to see him growl, which is just sad. Pathetic actually. Shameful and an appology is due here! ---

No, actually it was I who was confused. Irony always escapes me ☹ Sorry Ducky. My bad. ---

So, then I was the one obviously joking? ::holds head in pain:: Maybe, but I’m going to appologize to all concerned right here and now: Sorry guys.
