Sheri's getting ballsy with the overcalls
"What's the big rebid problem? After 1♦ - 1♠, I can rebid 1NT, 2♠, or 2♦."

A testiment to sheri's bad play- there is nothing to be gained by ruffing spades- need to setup diamonds.

Can understand you are trolling to provoke a reaction from Fred, but attacking Sheri is a bit too low for my taste and, I imagine, for yours?
Don't you think you should apologize? I corresponded with Sheri when seeking a copy of BaseIII and found her a very gracious lady.

What that Fred is a poor teacher and bad example chooser- he is desperate to give GIB a good name rather than fix GIB's bidding system to a high level of detail and cross-check the play to see its doing what its supposed - rather they slooping in ill-formed new conventions and fix a small number of the bugs.

Is it just a coincidence that the output of cloa reminds me of the input to a cloaca?
I enjoyed the counterplay of GIB.

I support your right to criticize GIB, including Fred's choice of example, but I do not think you should attack players personally. Apart from being rude and hurtful, you are likely to misapprehend their purpose and be unfair?
Suppose I decide to treat robots as human as I initially did. This gives a richer experience but to a double dummy observer with knowledge of robot habits the play seems poorer. On a human basis the "falsecard" in Fred's example is the sort that Reese used to make in his heyday. And was highly praised for making.
Personally I have given up criticizing GIB. I made my suggestion for what it's worth. To persist is like "flogging a dead horse", and decisions about GIB's future are commercial decisions and not mine to make.
Slainte,

It's usually those too scared to state their true identities who are rudest and most critical.
