I've resurrected my old DU name, sort of.

[Ocelot II]

I started out on DU as Ocelot, changed it (inexplicably) to The Velveteen Ocelot, which was an (arguably) cute reference to The Velveteen Rabbit, but it soon proved to be cumbersome. So now I'm back as Ocelot II because they wouldn't let me have my original name back, and I wanted to be identifiable should anyone be interested.

1. It works.

Same great Minny Person.

2. I remember your original screen name. Admittedly, I've become fond of the "Velveteen" addition,

but it works.

3. Good to know.

Welcome back.

4. Aaaww - your former moniker was...

...one of my favorites on the whole of DU.

[Ocelot II]

6. Thanks, but it was time for a change, or maybe a regression.

I still have my velveteen rabbit from the early '50s but I have never acquired a velveteen ocelot.

5. Having spent most of my working life in bookshops...

I laughed out loud the first time I saw Velveteen Ocelot, and still smile a lot because of it.

7. A favorite book - the rabbit one. I have a velveteen rabbit from the '50s.

8. Nice. The book's centennial is coming soon.

I'll continue smiling, just the same!

10. I loved seeing your username but...

I will still know who you are!
