If I switch my suggestion for West's hand to 1=6=6=0 rather than 0=6=6=1. now which opponent do you feel should overcall a four card spade suit at the two level - especially in North's case as he's almost guaranteed another call after the multi 2D opener has shown their holding? In any case, I'm not responsible for explaining opponents' bidding. If I were still partnering the person to whom I referred, I would be 95% certain that they would show with that weak red two-suiter. Why opponents have chosen to stay silent is really not my problem.
