Subject: wet suit storage in a roll....
Have been discussions before on how to store a wet suit, hanger vs flat. Yesterday, to my horror, my wife put away my sleeveless wetsuit by rolling it up. Her argument was pretty good, there are no creases, just like being flat. Any thoughts? (Still going to lay flat in the guest room when company leaves...)

when i travel that's how I pack it.  I'd never store it that way

While there are not creases, there is still an increase of pressure overall on the neoprene, which will shorten its life overall.  Store it flat or on a special wetsuit hanger (they are broad so the shoulder pressure is spread out; check out a local dive shop).
