+=+ That's conventions for you. The number of messages 
on here about them has been very high in a discussion lasting 
almost forever. And where have we arrived? Well, you tell 
me.
       Mike Amos says "when there is room for discussion 
amongst serious and informed students of the game and at 
least some doubt amongst us as to whether for example 5H 
showing the Ace is, or is not, a convention, then that makes 
the definition poor". 
      Or, perhaps, the reading of them.
