A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Since I thought of 2C as definitely no and X as not crazy but still I wouldn't, I am glad to see your choice of X.

I suppose there was some discussion of just who was entitled to the straight jacket?

The 5 level belongs to me, as the old saying goes. Or something like that.

My worry about doubling was that it might unduly encourage partner to bid 3S!

Really? Like your partner is coming in after you pass?

Why not? He bid to 5S opposite the same expected strength, the only sirprise being shape.
