Comcast too fast for proofreading

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.”
