Good practical bidding problem from the BBO jungle. Don't mistake a random BBO 'expert' for your regular partner. The case for three diamonds is two fold. (1) partner may be an idiot (as was the case), and 3 diamonds is idiot proof. (2) partner needs both diamond honours and a heart stop or two heart stops (opposite my little bit of help) and one diamond honour to make 3NT. Partner should have less than a opening strong NT hand, else 2NT was a silly underbid. I would expect about 13-14 HCP and a good (possibly double, given my help) heart stop. With HCP rather thin for a 3NT contract, the aforementioned heart/diamond holdings must be crucial and may not be there. That said, 3NT is the right call, IMO. Passing 2NT is hopeless.
