Joe: I get called "Ralph" or "Rolph" or "Rolphe" or
"Ross" or ..., far more often than I get called "Rolf". (Roughly 95%
--- 5%). I have learned to live with it. (Ah, the *mellowness* that comes with advancing
years!)
Now that I re-read it..... "that doesn't mean that I don't like having my
name mangled" reduces to "I like having my name mangled". :-)
Such as "just because I didn't want any ice cream doesn't mean I don't
like ice cream."
FWIW, I answer to "Ed", "Edward", "Eddie", "Edy"
(Don't ask), "エド", "爱德华", and "Hey You".
Sorry for the OT'ness. Just thought this rather amusing.
