    Who, exactly, was supposed to have done the ignoring? And when? This sounds like
    a piece of gossip -- I still hear no facts.

    For all we know, Alan spoke to his cousin Lenny, whose friend Bubba had a sister
    Emma who worked at the factory for Unicoat (Airplane Coating Systems) in
    Atlanta, and said her boss wasn't interested in Hebrew.
