[Stefanie Rohan]

What about _opponents'_ questions?  I gave the example of our artificial 
1D bid.  Suppose an opponent makes a direct 2D overcall.  Of course we 
ask what it means and are told "No agreement; we've never discussed your 
kind of 1D bid."  Why can't we vary our agreements according to whether 
the 2D bidder did or did not ask the meaning of 1D.  (We know perfectly 
well what the overcaller is showing, and it's different depending on 
whether he asked about 1D or not.)

This cannot be right.  It is normal to assume that the opponents know what our bids mean.  Doing what Steve suggests here would surely be making use of extraneous information.  And it would be a difficult system to play with screens...

Cheers
