Thank you Roland, Yes I am concerned about private messages, not because they tell each other what everyone has but because of the delay in play. Alas some of us do not have the luxury of cable or fast lines. I am on a telephone line and charged every three minutes. The other concerns that you mention were not something I was worrying about. Thank you. :)
Dummy sees all four hands. I find that strange, and stranger still that I, as an opponent, have no way of closing my hand. I don't think dummy should be able to see partner's hand let alone all four. Thank you. ;D
