Retired ex-School Psychologist, worked in a middle school in the South Bronx. living outside of NYC. Not an expert, never claimed to be, never will be. Became LM over 35 years ago but don't ask me how? Frequently play on BBO - (Double !) but play live bridge relatively infrequently. Memory and attention/ concentration skills are clearly not what they once were. If I post a problem or OP, even if it seems like such a no-brainer and elementary to you, something likely occurred at the table where a disagreement occurred or there was some difference in approach or style. So please view it as respecting and appreciating your input.
The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know - scary!

I was going to present this as a multiple choice poll but was concerned that I might omit some peoples' choices (resulting in unexplained "other" responses). So I ask for written answers along, if possible, with explanations. I am interested in both how you interpret 5NT is as well as why? This bid did generate a bit of discussion at the table (euphemism for disagreement).
Look forward to your responses and thanks in advance.
