I agree with you that the writing is fine with out the contact symbols.

I don't think the contact symbols have to be there, but it wouldn't hurt to 
have them... overall, though, I think they would clutter the sign too much.  
I like it as it is now - and if someone reads it and thinks it doesn't 
actually touch the arm, well, I've been known to sign it that way! :-)  But 
since the handshapes are actually overlapping the arm line, I think that's 
enough indication that they touch.  Good to know we were thinking the same 
way! :-)

I think I got confused with the palm facings and movement arrows because I 
was starting with the fingerspelling and didn't really look at what the sign 
looked like.

Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions, Adam!
