2♠ even if 1♠ was forcing

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I open these things 2♣ systematically. Not because it's a good solution, but because it solves other problems.
I'll see what to do next after pard's reply

... I might even consider opening 6♦ if I don't think my available tools are good enough to intelligently determine whether 5, 6 or 7 is the correct final contract.
Since OP seems to have abandoned us, I think I'll hijack to continue this thought. Today in an IMP robot tourney:

I never finished this hand. It was in a $1 robot reward- best hand tournament and it ended right after I bid 2♠ on my second round.

Then which part of this hand and the auction so far did you find interesting enough to post ?

if that is what you've agreed on then use it for that. Then since 1♠ is forcing you can rebid ♠ again to show 5♠ and more ♦, of course. But I prefer to send pd the super freak memo with 2♠.

Would 1♠ and 2♠ both be natural and forcing? Seems unlikely to me.
