The Ferengi Family Tree

Dear Humans of the L.A. Times:

I read with particular interest your article last Sunday about Rick Berman, the executive producer of the “Star Trek” franchise. It’s interesting to learn more of what is happening on the far side of the Paramount lot.

However, I take umbrage at your mistaking me for my nephew Nog (Aron Eisenberg) in your shot from “Deep Space Nine.” Do all we Ferengi look the same to you? You should be ashamed! Not only is there an obvious height difference, but I haven’t worn a veil in the back of my head for ages.

Otherwise, I appreciate the free publicity and, again, thank you for the wonderful article on Rick.
