I like to think that... Written by Donna H (5/3/2007 9:33 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Oh, dear, Mr Bennett, penned by Rose G

...Mr. Bennet's comments are light-hearted, teasing banter but, in this day and age, wouldn't such comments be called "zingers" by a marriage/family counselor, LOL!? (For those that might not know, "zingers", loosely defined, are hurtful comments said in an underhanded manner.)
