Is this newsgroup dead?  I'm sure there are many subjects that could be
discussed here.  Does anyone have an interesting hand that came up?
Does anyone want suggestions as to proper bids or plays?
How about questionable rulings you've received?  (I have plenty of
those stories.)  Perhaps a discussion of favorite conventions.

Well, I'll start one.  What are your favorite defenses to 1NT?
I volunteer to collect responses and summarize to the net.  Send me replies
by mail.  Also, please start using this newsgroup.

Anyway, here is my favorite.

	2D=Both Majors
	2H=Hearts and a minor
	2S=Spades and a minor
	2NT=Both minors
	2C=An unknown one suiter.  It forces a 2D response, which could
		be passed.  Responder need not bid 2D if he has a GOOD
		reason, such as not wanting to be passed or a suit of his own,
		but he cannot pass.
	Double=Penalty, probably a solid suit with other stuff.  Consequently,
		2C probably is a broken suit or one without enough sure tricks.

This can also be played in passout seat.

Any comments?  Any other pet systems?  Please, folks, lets make this
group active.
