I'm also a Merkin.  I also enjoy playing against different
systems.

But I agree that there seem to be an awful lot of Americans
who think that [bidding system = only standard American]. 

Worse yet:  many seem to think that [bidding system = only
their own personal version of standard American and
therefore they are not required to alert].

If I had a dollar for every alerted SAYC bid I saw on
OKBridge, I don't think I'd be able to buy lunch in even a
mediocre restaurant with those dollars.
