A Rose by any Other Name

Mr Hippo takes note of the insistence of certain members of this group to calling him "Keith".


He finds it rather amusing since Mr Hippo has never shared his given name with anyone in this group, nor has he any intention, since such familiarity should only be reserved for family and friends, which, Mr Hippo has previously stated, are completely lacking in this group.


However, Mr Hippo, being the thoughtful and considerate hippo that he always is, and being aware of the tenuous grasp some people have on reality, will not consider pursuing the matter further, since he doesn't want to be responsible for another persons final tumble into the abyss of total madness.


Mr Hippo wishes to assure the members here that if they wish (for whatever reasons they have) to continue to refer to Mr Hippo as "Keith" he will continue to respond to their posts ,and will continue to interact with everyone in here with the respect and consideration each and every one of them deserves an members of the human race.


When you get right down to it, Mr Hippo doesn't really care what anyone calls him, as long as they don't call him late for dinner
