What did you think of the USA women holding that sign aloft during the medal ceremony. Is it a storm in a tea-cup or a more serious breach of behaviour? I’ve only seen a photo of the incident so it’s a bit to comment on it in context.

But we should remember that these people were unpaid (to my knowledge) and trying to help players of various skill levels better understand the bridge. Most did not have any system notes and so at times were confused by bidding systems.

Larry Cohen was the very best in my opinion. It was too bad that he was on so seldom. Walter Johnson was very helpful when Meckwell played since he knows their system.

I find the use of “enemies” to be very helpful in avoiding people with whom I have had bad experiences.

Stacy, I think you are 100% correct but that in general we should be greatful to have such a wonderful and FREE mechanism for playing, watching, using the bidding room, etc
