[blml] Clarification...

[A] Herman de Wael and I argue about the simplest basic case (An

It's not an implicit agreement - it's a habit of Herman's of which most
of his partners are unaware (so there's nothing to disclose).

Another flat contradiction from Tim without basis in fact. Herman has 
told us that his regular partners joke about the fact that he opens 1H 
when he has 0-3HCP in 3rd seat.

IMO they do have an *undisclosed implicit agreement*.

Worse. IMO Herman's "habit" is a *convention*. It may also be an 
*illegal convention*.

When I suggested that the law on psychs be clarified, John Probst 
protested "What is the friggin problem?"

 From the variety of responses, it seems that John is partially right :)

BLMLers (with few exceptions like me) are sure what the law means.

It is just that directors all understand it to mean different things.

Presumably resulting in the kind of rulings that accord with the WBFLC 
redefinition of "Equity"
