Good arguments. I also hate not being able to upvote yellows.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I play inverted raises that can have 4M side suit without any strength limiting problems. There is one big issue of course. Continues are completely artificial based on relay structure that is not something that I would encourage any IA player to try. The advantage over inverted minor denying the side suit are minimal compared to cost of system accidents doesn't pay in long run.

I just wanted to raise the fact it is possible to have good inverted minor raise structure with ability locate major fit and limit strength. But the cost isn't worth it for about 95% of bridge players.
