The wikipedia for Ellen doesn't mention Jeffrey Ullman by name. Is there a reason which people prefer not to refer to, which explains why the coyness, or was it some other computer science Ullman which adopted Ellen? It does state she was raised in a computer science family.

People deserve to stand on their own two legs, and if its "not in the shadow, shines by herself" I can get behind that. Or indeed "no, it's just a coincidence, the adoptive parent isn't Jeffrey and his partner"

(I too was raised in a computer science family, 3 generations now. In my own case, regression tended to the mean but I have high hopes of the next one.)
