   No, not a flame, just a quick question. I heard that the boycott began
in an Irish village when a man named (of all things) Boycott was ignored
by everyone in the village for some foul deed. Does anyone have more info?
I would like to know the foul deed, village name and location and an
approximate time frame. I can find no references to it :-(
