Preliminary Signals

I am still going to give a preliminary signal when there is a double whistle. I am just not going to do it very quickly. Once we realize who is taking the call, I think you still have to signal to everyone what you have.

I agree with this completely. I was thinking preliminary signal meant rhgt that instant. Waiting to check with partner and then signalling makes sense. In fact, it would be a little cruel to whistle, confer with partner, and then walk clear to the table before letting anyone know what you're going with. In that situation, it seems like the best thing to signal as soon as you and your partner are "of one mind."
