Adding a small card to that first hand to get to 13, neither of those are 'very light' openings. Especially if you need to be NV or even favourable for them. I'm sorry to say, those might have been light at some point but it's completely normal to open those hands now.

I’m old, lol. And in NA it’s not as common as it is in other parts of the world

That's still a 2♠ opener for many in the US.

@jillybean just to say that it is impossible to send you a PM (probably you need to clean up).

Should be ok now. I’ve neglected any housekeeping of messages. It appears that I must read and delete individual messages.
If I select multiple msgs,there is no delete button.

Not the original hand, the AQJxxx, xx, xxx, Kx proposed as a light 1♠ that was then called not light any more.

It's ok now, thanks.
You can select multiple messages or even all messages (at the top of the column in "Last message") and then press the Delete (default) - Go button which is at the bottom.

While you are here, could you please remind what the range on your 2♠ opening is and whether the maximum exceeds the minimum of 1♠?
I wanted to discuss this with a friend but could not remember the precise numbers.
Thanks.

10-13, 6+ major. We upgrade into and out of most of our stated ranges (and disclose this…it’s written on our WBF card as an example) so good 9 to average 13 is more precise
