FSF is GF in Acol nowadays?

I play it that way, but I am aware some people play it as forcing to 2NT if it is bid at the two level.

It depends if your partner plays it as Blackwood or not.

But let's all gang up on my posts again

But we all know how people behave on a forum with a culture of bullying

I am getting close to leaving the whole site

Yes I meant over 1D

On a good day I get a slam 🙂

Maybe 6 diamonds. Why waste time 🙂

I did say I wasn't sure how to proceed

It was not my intention to gang up on you, I misinterpreted when you would bid 4NT and said I would interpret that as Blackwood with an inexperienced partner even if technically it should not be, whether directly over 1D or after I bid 1S.

If the opener show balanced 12-14 somehow, I just bid 4NT -- has to be quantitative --

They play Acol so 1♠ shows an unbalanced hand. 4di is therefore not unreasonable IMHO.

Oh, in that case the same reasoning applies, I would almost certainly take that as RKCB agreeing diamonds. I don't dispute it should be quantitative but in the circles I play, most players will interpret 4NT as Blackwood in all but the most fundamental situations.

I am already impressed that they recognise the most fundamental situations: my first time in a "real" bridge club I was bawled out by the President when I passed her 4NT response to my (minimum) 1NT opening

If the Argine thread is anything to go by, Acol nowadays is just a short road in NW London
