I'm gonna pass. Not happy about it, but 4♠ is too high.

I also pass, this seems clear.

I voted double btw because I thought it was a 1S opener.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Pass, ... I considered double, but I was in
time as I discarded this idea.

With kind regards

Pass. Not a good enough hand to do anything, but would have Xd 3♠.

Happy to pass.

Not happy to offer the 5-level to partner.

Sure I might be fixed.

My thoughts exactly on with a 'seems like' tagged on the front.

Agree, this is an easy pass. Your hand is not good enough offensively, and is really not good enough defensively (though it almost is) for a double.

Easy pass. Where are the doublers? 25% doubled but the posters are unanimous passers.
Kind regards,
