I think I've become a worse poster over time since I started explaining my answers less. But just giving an opinion on the answer still has value, just not as much as an explanation to go with it. I try to explain my thinking most of the time but when something is reeeeeeally obvious or when it's a topic that has come up often before I am just not inclined to bother. Also sometimes your answer is just based on feel, and how can you explain that?

Gwnn I ♥ed rereading both those threads, thank you!

The bid or play that wins the post-mortem is a moving target. WTP?

[Fluffy]

many people say wtp when it is clearly not a wtp, the reasons for that are because they are joking, and because they wanna show that they think completelly the opposite as someone elses. This can be missleading for beginners.

[gwnn]

I don't think there are "many people" who do that to be honest. Or maybe I'm not very perceptive.

@jdonn: it's interesting that I had bad memories of those threads but now they're just nice to read. past hostility can be funny.

holy *****, where is sathyab? he left without telling us that full hand

[gwnn]

well I think it's safe to think 6♦ was the right bid

One of my problems was, when I first started reading, was that I didn't know who anyone was. It's almost a secret society with the screen names. I know who a lot of people are now and it's makes reading the threads about bidding much more rewarding. It's hard to accept at face value a WTP from a complete stranger.

[whereagles]

it's the internet and it's humans.

I rest my case.

And then there are some blue and orange fish.
