<DIV>Hello Charles, Mark and others -</DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks for your feedback about the diagram attached to the end of
this message. Mark...your message bounced to the List because you sent it from
an email address that is not subscribed to the List...(I believe)...no matter
what, many thanks for your feedback!!? Val ;-)</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Thanks for the summary. I've been away for a bit,
and trying to follow this last thread on the 10 handshape was pretty
confusing at first. Looking just at the three choices, I would say the far
right is by far the easiest, middle is next, and the left (old) is the most
confusing. The middle one can be figured out, even though it isn't instantly
recognizable, because there is a conflict that calls for resolution. (the
thumb can't possibly be sticking out of the back side of the palm, therefore
further decoding is necessary, so you look at the hand orientation, and
follow the rules (which I have since forgotten again, but I could look them
up, or more likely, just guess and get it right from context).) On the other
hand, the old way of writing clearly looks to me as if the thumb is pointing
upward, and there is nothing to keep me from interpreting it that way, and
signing it that way. If you know the sign, great, but if you don't, there's
no way to get it right. Or worse yet, !</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">?if there</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">?are two different signs, one with the thumb up,
and one with the thumb pointing back toward you, how would you tell the
difference. (Maybe my asking this questions just means I haven't been
following the thread closely enough. If so, I apologize in advance. Its just
that the sheer volume of posts overwhelmed me.)</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">So anyway, here's one "outside the thread"
perspective of the three choices.</DIV>
