Well you could nitpick over minor details as usual, or pretend to learn something by realizing the same point exists on responder's return, such as in my examples if partner is on lead and the E/W hands are reversed.

Another minor detail about which I'm going to nitpick is that I did, in fact, recognise the validity of your point. If you'd read all the way to the bottom of my second post in this thread, you'd have seen that I'd provided an example of the situation you were trying to describe.

My example improves on yours in two ways: it involves the play going in a clockwise direction, and it doesn't require third hand to make the potentially disastrous play of the king from K9x over dummy's J76x.

Perhaps you'd better stick to bidding?

Josh, the main point can well get lost if too many details are wrong. (But I won't start again following you around to point them out, promise!)

So nitpicking just for the sake of being a jerk rather than because you missed the point is an improvement?

Hmm. Maybe this conversation isn't going anywhere useful.
