Feel free to start discussing stuff whenever you want. Perhaps a separate thread for each hand is better.

I've noticed some people abstained because they didn't like previous bids.
We can do the following: message Mark with what you'd have bid previously and I'll try and analyze/score it case-by-case.

What the hell is going on on boards 2 and 4? Djeez 
I'm afraid we'd have lots of discussions about the analysis...

You'll always have lots of discussion
Board 2 I can understand some would've doubled the round before. Board 4 I don't see the problem

Mark or Nuno I think you should open more hands at a time, discussing the same trivial decision for days is no fun

The posters stated the warning of what they would do about abstentions. That becomes a condition, and it would be nice if they stuck to their guns and did not coddle those who refused to comply.
Certainly I was unfond of some of the given auctions, but having sat in for the person who was there on the previous round(s), a call is required at this turn. Objecting to what happened before is good discussion material. Abstaining is different.

I don't think anyone who abstained cares about the scores.

Soon after the results are up, I'll post the "solutions", i.e. the full hands and why you got the scores you did - the highly flammable part
Meanwhile I take the opportunity to thank all that have participated, with special regards to Mark for helping me.

Thank you both for doing all the work.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
