Wow!
This Sunday column appeared around 8pm or earlier Saturday evening Eastern time.
Seems to be the new norm.

Hi Clarksburg,

Likely the largest advantage is being able to see and correct our mistakes a bit earlier than usual.

Hi Consultation Fee (last letter),

You said a mouthful when you inserted passed hand since if not I would love to hold:
s. A, h, AKxx, d. KQxx, c. KQxx and have partner open 3 spades, hear RHO pass, raise to 4 spades and have the pleasure of watching LHO being forced to NOT pass.

I can already hear both opponents later complaining about barely missing accurate description of the intent of that addendum. Yeah, barely??

Perhaps while holding the above hand I should pass first seat and hope partner opens the bidding 3 spades. However, my glee from that scenario would even be short livid, if partner does not cooperate and have the right hand to do it. Unlucky me!
