		 I promise you that leaving it at room temperature won't make it go bad.  I actually buy bottles and open them and let them age - I seriously own about 3-5 bottles of ketchup at any time.  I think it tastes better.  I could be wrong, but I've never gotten sick from eating ketchup that was stored at room temperature for 9 months+.
