The comments for PROBLEM F supported an idea that I have seldom heard. VERY seldom. We have responded 1 with Jxxx, QJxxx, Q, xxx and heard pard rebid 1 .
Now, Moderator located 7 or 8 quotes that state "I would have passed one spade......" or "I seriously considered passing one spade" ( and who knows--maybe some unquoted panelists joined this lest?)
I may be an extreme leftist in saying that 1 rebid by opener is FORCING -- unless the response was completely bogus but i never guessed that there would be THAT MANY experts who call passing an option, let alone preferable with jxxx and an actual 6-count
