Well, if you’re talking about the bottom of MPSIMS, and all admins, then I’ll go with:

Incorrect…however since I was not clear about which page..I won’t take off points. However you can’t answer another time.

I meant the main staff page at the bottom of the index of forums.

Well, presuming that the letters are jumbled up (and they could hardly be otherwise),:  
Who are SandyCane and Acetylsalicylic?  
Not commonly know, and you don’t use everything from Acet’s name, but that wasn’t a requirement.

I understood it to be the letters in one user name. At least I think that is how it goes. In any case, I have no clue.

A. How on Earth could we possibly figure that out? Anagram generators can’t work based on usernames unless you write one that way.
