Sometimes, you can set your preferences for your email, so that it  
opens another web browser automatically...right now perhaps it is  
setup to open Explorer, but you might be able to change your  
preferences to open FireFox automatically instead...look in  
Preferences or Properties or Internet Options...

yes...touching briefly and touching three times is quite a different  
story...smile...

So then it is not incorrect...if it can be understood...which  
probably means that it could be signed either way, and it is  
correct...lots of signs can be read with less detail...

So I think the word correct and incorrect can only be used when  
talking about truly mis-reading the sign to the point where it is  
another sign...If you really needed touch-touch-touch on the palm for  
the sign for BEREGNE, or you would not understand it, that would be  
different...smile...
