    our opponents. What do you say when you alert your Bailey bids? Is a pre- alert needed?

    I was doing a web search on Bailey Weak Two Bids, saw the question, and didn't look at the date. So I answered it. Excuse me all to hell. If it is really going to upset people to answer the question, then take it down.

    We play Bailey Weak 2 bids. So although it may be an outdated question to you, it isn't to us. In fact the question consistently comes up.

    I hope this doesn't spoil your whole day. Maybe take some aspirin and get a good night's sleep.

    I was mildly amused rather than upset. As for taking it down, this is
    Usenet not a Web forum, and there's no real way of taking a post down.
    I'd guess that you are using Googlegroups, which presents Usenet
    newsgroups as though they were Web forums, but they are very different.

    I doubt that anyone was upset, but it gave us something to talk about in
    a group that's become extremely quiet in recent months.
