Hello Stuart, Philip and everyone!
I will leave ASL decisions to all of you...smile...glad you are  
thinking about these issues ;-)

A side note: the writing of the sign for SIGN needs a tiny  
correction...see attached diagram....When you open and close from a  
square fist...the symbols need to be dots...a dark dot means to close  
the Middle Joints into a fist, and the Hollow dots mean to open the  
fist to an open hand...the little arrows for opening and closing from  
the Knuckle Joint are called Hinge Arrows, and they cannot be used in  
this particular sign, because Hinge Arrows are only used when the  
fingers remain completely straight but only hinge up and down at the  
knuckle joint...I will show more on this next message ;-)
