Overheard at the New York Auto Show: John Krafcik
By JAMES G. COBB
“Flat is the new up.” — John Krafcik, acting president and chief executive of Hyundai Motor America, explaining why the company’s sales, which have not fallen in tandem with most of the industry, are a cause for celebration.

Yesterday I accidentally insulted opps, and since I thought it is the hight of ethics to call the director on your own infractions, I shouted: Director, I am insulting the opponents!

Then one of the opponents said that it was condoned because I just said he was stupid which was a fact. The other opp shouted "Helene, stop seeking attention!"

What would you rule?

This sounds like constructive criticism to me. The ability to give and receive constructive criticism is incredibly useful imo -- in life and in bridge -- and therefore off-topic in this thread.

That is a topic so absurd that it doesn't even warrant discussion in this thread! ;)

Experts make the most mistakes because when intermediates make mistakes they are actually making their normal plays.

(That probably didn't make any sense. I'm so drunk!)
