Help
Had to take a screen-shot to show the meaning of double here, because I did not want to actually make the bid.
It would not let me embed the image tin the post itself. Apparently I don't have the right to embed a file with .jpg extension. Say what?
Anyway, here it is

I can't help thinking that the explanation is inconsistent with the earlier auction.
Presumably as partner is a passed hand I am systemically entitled to pass the 1H response? I could sort of sympathise if GIB was having to cope with an impossible call earlier.

OK, for those who (understandably) don't want to click on links to external sites, here is the hand
MP, best hand south, Instant, advanced GIB ver 30
Where South passes over the 1S bid, a double instead would have shown (apparently, per mouse-over explanation):
"3+C; 3+H; 2+S; 15+ HCP; 15- total points; forcing to 3N".
If you don't believe me I am sorry but you will just have to download the jpg file from the link.

I believe it is real for what you said since I have two times at least to see such changeable explanations occured.
