[blml] ACBL LC Detroit minutes [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

My system (notes emailed on request) contains some deliberate holes, with
some calls explicitly agreed as non-systemic.

For example, if the auction starts:

Me        Pard
1NT       2C
2H

a rebid of 2S by pard is non-systemic.

I would like to put in a request for these system notes. Not that I want to
play the system, but as long-time coach to British teams I have amused
myself by compiling a private list of the Worst Methods in the World. That
2S has *no* systemic meaning in the (fairly common) auction above strikes me
as so staggeringly bad as to be wholly outside the realms not only of what I
have experienced, but of what I could imagine.

Which is, perhaps, only to make Richard's point. If his partner bid this
non-existent 2S, what would Herman have Richard say by way of explanation?
