[SBU Board] Fwd: Hello Susan!

[Jeff Ford]

I am concerned about the advice not to ask questions about an alerted bid
unless it is going to affect what you do. Doing so gives unauthorized
information to your partner when you ask and then don't do anything. I
realize that at the I/N level most UI is innocuous, but it's a bad habit to
be in.

My advice would be more like this: "An alert means that the bid is unusual
and you should ask what it is. Do this whether you are planning to bid or
not. All you have to say is 'Please explain' when you hear 'Alert'."

Thanks for putting this together Craig - I think that we don't do a great
job teaching the etiquette of bridge along with declarer play, defense, and
bidding.

Jeff
