Is that the same as a wife pretending to know nothing?

Maybe but actually I wouldn't know as I didn't write that
line. I believe Pete did & then it was misquoted by someone
else besides I thought it was husbands that are accused of
pretending not to know anything? ;-)

Was there ever a husband smarter than his wife?????

Is it just me or is there, in this day and age, lots of misreading of what a person wrote? I see it a lot (here, but not particularly here). It seems to be the analog of a conversation where one person is talking and the other listening, but the listener is _not_ listening -- he's thinking of how he's going to respond to an early snippet of the other guy's conversation.

I wonder if bottom-posting and interleaved responses might alleviate some of that.
