Huh?  This is news to me too.  Since this isn't part of the IBLCE  Code of
Ethics, I very much doubt the story....

Friends, it's very important that when you are repeating an "I heard
that...." that you KNOW the facts of the matter, are very SURE of the facts
of the matter, and aren't just repeating something that may be akin to "the
first cousin of my neighbor's second wife's husband's third daughter
said...."

It's amazing how quickly stories like this make it into the LC lore with no
basis in fact.  Peg, I'm not saying you -- I'm glad you brought it up....but
I think whoever told YOU should have been VERY SURE OF THEIR FACTS.
