So why are there no other "restriction's"?

When I entered this comments section, I clicked on Bill's Library link. Here's the response I received from Blogger:

Profile Not Available

The Blogger Profile you requested cannot be displayed. Many Blogger users have not yet elected to publicly share their Profile.

If you're a Blogger user, we encourage you to enable access to your Profile.

I know it's not apostrophe abuse, but it is bad grammar and I wanted to point it out somewhere.

It should read "... not yet elected to publicly share their profiles." (plural)

And, why is Profile capitalized anyway?

Ahhhh, now I feel better.

Actually, it should read, "Many Blogger users have not yet elected to share his or her profile."
