It didn't! You ended your OP with "End of rant for now. Am I way off base on these two items or can I get someone to second my motion?"
It didn't appear to be just humor. You asked and I responded....
So.. Here's friendly wave...:bigsmiley23:
And again...
Why bother to have rules or amendments to rules...
Wave if you want. Or don't wave...
If you wave back, great. If not, your loss...
I have to agree with SledDog on this one, when you posted that..
"End of rant for now. Am I way off base on these two items or can I get someone to second my motion?"
It became an opinion or statement ...IMO.
Personally all this hand waving posting is a bit silly and should be at the operator/riders judgment and not "set in stone" so to speak. Wave if you wish and don't wave if you wish.
