I was going to answer that I would open 2C if I were playing a system

where it was reasonable _except_ that when playing such systems we

open so light that it is clear that this is the opponent's hand, so I

would probably pass.

Playing my current system, I could open 1NT, wide-ranging because

partner has passed, but I think I'll pass for the same reason. Partner

didn't open, so it is their hand.
