I AM NOT ROBBY!

90% of the people who recognize the B-9 from Lost In Space believe his name was Robby. People have even argued with me insisting he was called Robby. When I tell them he was called just "Robot" or "B-9", they say, "I don't think so, I'm sure he was Robby."
A handful of people have even said, "Oh, that's R2-D2!" In one strange case, someone said, "That's Twiki, right?"
The most bizarre one yet was when someone saw a photo of my B-9 and said (no joke), "I never saw a furnace like that before."
I will direct these folks to this page, and maybe it will help sort things out.
