Is this behavior appropriate for anyone on BBO? I included 'on BBO' since consenting adults can take it anywhere they want. Not to a stranger, out of the blue.

Is this behavior appropriate for anyone on BBO? Even better!

Hear, hear!

Another way of sorting out acceptable undos and nonacceptable undos might be to have a text-entry box on the undo request, as in on the claim box? Of course, that wouldn't stop people from writing in "misclick" when it's not. Maybe they would have to enter what card/bid they want to change it to? This might take a while, so maybe when the person clicks on the undo button it freezes the next player while the requesting person is typing in the required info.

I basically agree with what Phil said, except to add that Declarer may not ask for a review of the auction. I agree that he may ask as to the meaning of a specific bid. Law 20F2 allows this: I can't find a law about your signalling question, but I'm sure that it's allowed.

I had no problems with her. :) I did much worse on the last 10, mainly because I got bored. :)

I was honestly really surprised: I got 16, missing two genuine and two fake, two men and two women. I expected to do a lot worse.

Make sure that you have permission to use these photos. Both from the people who took them, and the people that are in them.

No, Rob who posted above. I'm sorry that I even brought this up, it was kinda an inside joke that you are being taken too far. Rob doesn't do "Personal Finance", I meant that he's a good person to talk to about taking care of your personal, financial situation. That is why I used lower case letters. You seem not to understand this, and to want to continue maligning him in a public setting. I'm done.

thats is no recommendation, it is experts on finance that thought up all the schemes, so people with no money can get in debt and borrow more than they can afford(and trying to use the excuse that people are the makers of their own misfortune, is a pretty poor excuse, people are gulliable when it comes to finances) this is not a personal attack on Rob btw No, I meant personal finance. Not Finance as an academic subject, but on an individual basis.

I don't understand how there could possibly have been damage. The guy seems to be saying that he got the information before his turn to bid. i dunno... his p may have held ♥AKQJxxxx and thought they might play in 4♥ so he didn't double for lead... But shouldn't his partner then have been asking, not him?

I don't understand how there could possibly have been damage. The guy seems to be saying that he got the information before his turn to bid. My question, too.

This would make her a good politician, they have to get thousands of people to give them money.

You should listen to Rob, he is THE EXPERT on finances. :o

Just curious. I NEVER sort my hand by rank (so ♥5T6 stays that way).

I haven't found anything directly on point, but: This seems to imply that the director is responsible for preventing this. Mainly, I think that the answer to your question (though I'm not definitely sure) is that this is not a responsibility in the laws, but one assigned by the bridge club in question on the director. When I was directing, it was definitely told to me that maintaining order, discipline, and quite was my number one priority.

But isn't that a problem with the director, not the person talking to the director?

I see that I'm the only female to answer so far. I have no clue why she wants to meet him. I assume that she's back in town to see parents or something? Anyway, without knowing this girl at all, I bet that the old adage "distance makes the heart grow fonder" seems to apply, for both of them in fact. I bet that she doesn't remember why they broke up, and wants to meet again, to see if she can remember, and if she can't, if they possibly could still get back together. I can't imagine it working out, if she's going to still live on the East Coast and he's going to be in Michigan, but I've seen LDRs work. As to whether I would advise a (male) friend of mine to meet an old flame, i don't know know. I would hope that maybe seeing her again would allow her to see her in a true light, rather than the light of remembrance of the good times, but it doesn't sound likely the way you're describing your friend. I think that if he refuses to meet her, he'd be even worse off, but you know your friend better than I would. Would he be obsessing about his decision not to see her? That's something to consider.

BBO won't let you overcall 1NT.

I didn't see the option I would pick: "This makes me want to be a vegetarian".

I think that Josh and I knew that, but were trying to not imply that the moderators don't know how to read.

Anyway, the relevant point is that Y said "down with", not "down on". Personally, I think that he was being sarcastic, saying that the only reason X should have bid 2♠ is if he thought that 1♥ was a transfer. But at face value, it's saying "I'm ok with playing transfers". Also, why was this moved to General Bridge Discussion?

I believe it's "down with" that is the relevant phrasing. See Urban Dictionary: down with that for reference. If you are in a group and someone says "who wants to go to the movies?" I've definitely heard them say I'm down.

Isn't this this normal (American teenager) english slang? "I'm down" with something means, "I'm willing to do it". Sometimes it means "I'm happy to do it".

1. I used to always do a. Now I do c. 2. Depends on my mood. I will almost always likely do a, usually because I will just be too shocked to do anything else. Sometimes I'll be out of it (I missed who was dealer) and do c. 3. It is the opponent's job to point out a revoke (but we can't shuffle our cards or not show any to hide them). so b. 4. Again, obligation is b. But here, I will likely do a. 5. If I'm paying enough attention to do it before the play, then a. Usually, b just happens. 6. No. I trust partner to look at his cards. Also, I find it very distracting to remember to say that. 7. It depends. Almost always b. But there are certain pairs that I will exercise a, mainly because I find them annoying, and I'm a petty person. 8. neither. In a club, with opps that know me, I inform the opponents that I know the options, and am going to choose one, and ask them if that's ok. If they prefer a director, then we call them. At a tournament, especially with opps I don't know, it depends on the option I choose (if it has to do with accepting lead, no director call. Otherwise, director call). BTW, bridge laws say that a director should be called when an irregularity is brought to attention, so this is breaking laws. 9. a 10. no
