Subject: Mnenomic version of the new Moscito relays...

Hi folks,
A lot of people on the forum were of the opinion (and I concur) that the new
Moscito relays, while exciting and effective, require more effort to
memorize. With this in mind, I have come up with a strawman to try and improve on the
mnemonic aspects:

After 1C:
1D: Semi-positive hands
1H: Positive; Any balanced hand OR any imbanced hand with spades
1S: Garbage
1N: Positive; Single suited in a minor OR both minors
2C: Positive; Hearts OR Hearts and clubs
2D: Positive; Hearts and diamonds
2H: ~SP; Hearts
2S: ~SP; Spades
2N: Positive; 5440 hand with major suit void
3C: Positive; Any solid suit
3D+: Positive; 5440 hands with minor suit voids

After 1C - 1H - 1S:
1N: Balanced hands; follow balanced hand module
2C: Spades and clubs
2D: Spades and diamonds; follow two suiter module
2H: Single suited in spades

----Begin two suiter module----

2S: Spades and hearts; reversed
2N: Spades and hearts; long legged
3C: Spade and hearts; short legged; non reversed; high shortage
3D: 5-4-2-2
3H+: Two suited low shortage shapes

-----End two suiter module-----

After 1C - 1N - 2C:
2D: Single suited in clubs??
2H: Single suited in diamonds?
2S+: Clubs + diamonds (two suiter module)

After 1C - 1D (SP) - 1H:

1S: Imbalanced hands with spades OR diamond one suiter or two suiter
1N: Balanced hands
2C: Hearts OR Hearts + Clubs
2D: Hearts + Diamonds
2H: Single suited with clubs
2S+: Hearts + Spades (two suiter module)

After 1C - 1D (SP) - 1H - 1S - 1N:

2C: Spades OR Spades + Clubs (2H = spades; 2S+ = S+C two suiter)
2D: Spades + Diamonds (follow two suiter module at 2S+)
2H: Single suited in diamonds
2S+: Diamonds + Clubs (two suiter module)
