One of life’s great mysteries.
You know, when I’m in a meeting with a big group of people and I say something and suddenly there’s this long, silent pause, I can never tell whether it means I just said something really stupid, or whether it means I said something so brilliant that it took everyone’s breath away, or I said something so confusing/obscure that it just went straight over everyone’s heads.
I really should try to figure it out sometime, especially if it’s the first option.

How about this: it’s something that they don’t want to admit, so they’re figuring out how to avoid it. This is great because it gives you a minute to plan the next attack.
I have the same problem with blog posts, so I wrote a blog post about it. But you already knew that. =)
