There you go again, Mathias! Trying to inject "common sense" into this 
thread. If we do that, it goes away, and then what is left for us to 
posture over?...

I am sure you'll find something :)

... The English language? Most cheats that I have encountered over these 
many years were first suspected and brought to light by ex-spectators, 
discussions after the game, party room reviews of spectators,
etc., and the like. To read the law and twist the words to defend a
ludicrous interpretation is probably what the games of BLML are mostly
about. There's a world of difference between alleging that the words 
used in
the laws could be misinterpreted (in this case it would need someone 
without
any knowledge of the game of bridge), and taking a stance that is silly. I
used to get all excited up over this kind of sophistic reasoning, but I've
mellowed and found it better for my blood pressure to just laugh.
It's gratifying to find comments like yours and Tim's -- there's still hope
for the game.
