[Sosfbay-discuss] Developing E-list Guidelines & Yes vs Applause

[Andrea Dorey]

Cameron,
Thank you for the reference to American Sign Language.  I had no idea  
about the "applause" gesture (similar to "twinkle").  I still like  
the nodding fist gesture because it very definitely means "yes" or I  
agree.  I use it in many places where an interruption to the speech  
or speaker would be inappropriate but I still get to communicate!
Andrea
PS - Is there a walk coming up soon?
