This is well outside what I thought the topic of discussion 
was -- the disclosure of partnership bidding and carding 
agreements excluding GK&E.  Opinions about player ability 
are not welcome and the disclosure of your agreements should 
not be coached in such terms.  "13HCP to open if you're 
competent, 11 if you suck" is not a good answer.

Bidding lightly against people who give up tricks in defense 
is good practice, but just answer the question simply as far 
as it is relevant to the current opponents without 
attempting to insult them under guise of following the rules.
