Every time someone posts an auction starting 2♣ 2♦ 3♦ (EVERY TIME!) responder doesn't raise with support, misses a diamond slam or diamond contract that is better than 3NT, and wonders what they should have done. And every time a few people say it wasn't a 2♣ opener, and a few more say opener should have rebid something else, but only a few get to the real point. Which is that every time I wonder when people will wise up and start raising their partners with support....

I cannot agree more with this comment. Support with support! Further, there is NOTHING wrong with opening 2C and rebidding 3D. A 2NT rebid does not do justice to this hand.

"Some would say that it is exactly a 2NT rebid after a 2C opening." Who are these "some". Again we have arguments by appeals to anonymous authorities.
