Pairs playing relay systems (like myself)
are the ones who need the most
this confirmation from the alerts.

If what you are saying were true screens
wouldn't be as damaging to relayers
as they are.

Nope, you always have the option of breaking
out the relay chain and switching to natural
bidding.

I bid hundreds of practice deals with my partner 
during practice sessions every month.
I have more than 100 pages of system notes.
And yet I wouldn't dare say that I am 100%
sure that I'm as effective behind screens as
without them.

You are living in dreamland, Richard.
