For a while I thought the whole biscuit thing above was a (nice) trolling piss-take. But there still seems to be some doubt about the merit of ...
No, I won't say what strategy I think is better.
You don't need sophisticated maths or erudite/passionate arguments here. Just ...
The text-only medium is a poor substitute for face to face communication. The nuances are feeble or nonexistent. If comments are directed at us, we can't respond as we would in real life, by walking away or by smiling politely and tuning out: we're here and we're ...
Strictly speaking, neither the flyer mentioned in the OP, nor the D25 regional referred to below describe the rates they quote as being in any way "special" although the word keeps getting used here. The OP refers to a "Special Bridge Code" (title case) while the flyer itself titles it ...

To further the transparent "cleaning up" of bridge:
14 (a) I accept to be subject to the anti-doping rules of WBF, although they have nothing whatsoever to do with the laws of the game...
(b) I rejoice in the WBF's acquiescence wrt the Court of Arbitration in Sport's ...

Also a couple of variations are described and it lists a number of books and links.

I'm an indifferent player - so maybe from a Bridge Winners perspective a statistical outlier - but during an LC commentary I feel I do have a ...
First Roland, and others mentioned upthread, thanks for all your hard work.
> latest technologies are increasingly paranoid about allowing app access to speakers and microphone
I'm not sure I understand this, so maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't my pc/phone/tablet speakers and microphone be rather pointless ...
