It is the alert regulation, not the Law (Law 20F specifically) that,  
at least in the ACBL, says "Any request for information should be the  
trigger. Opponents need only indicate the desire for information -  
all relevant disclosure should be given automatically," and "The  
proper way to ask for information is 'please explain.' " The alert  
regulation does not address follow-up questions.
