And I do *NOT* agree with Nigel, even though he thinks I do. My
question was a rhetorical one, in response to Herman's post. Nigel
removed the context (Herman's statement), thereby totally changing the
meaning. It's my opinion that a TD *should* assume that a player is
basically truthful *absent* good reason to think otherwise. 

I don't know where you play your bridge these days, Nigel, but you must
have some right bandits in the club. I certainly don't recognise
Reading BC in what you say, unless it's changed beyond all recognition
since I lived in Reading.
