Simply put: A natural NT promises a stopper, at least
this is the standard treatment and anything else would
probably be rated as "highly" ususual around the whole
world, and your opponents need to be informed, if you
play something, they cannot reasonable expect.

i disagree with this... the 1nt bid should show a certain range... if the opps asked me whether or not it shows a stopper i'd say "it does not have to".. i've never heard anyone say that such a method requires an alert, tho i may be wrong
