Oh, and if I might add a footnote to your post, Grish - a lot of people erroneously interpret the "wives, submit to your husbands" thing as meaning "wives, do everything your husbands say" or something in a similar vein. That's not the case. Also, many people forget that there are strictures for the husband as well, not just the wife. Just thought I'd mention that to forestall objections or misinterpretation.
