Great idea for the challenge, and some very good points. I do swear and dont deny it, however as many of these sites and forums are used by families, it is in the best interest if the hosts to not allow it, so no one can be alienated, nor can they leave themselves open to legal proceedings. So the story goes the V sigh goes way back in history to when the French cavalry cut off the bow fingers of the English archers, so that they could not fire arrows. So in response to this, the English archers used to do the V sigh at the French cavalry and then fire the arrows at them. Thankfully those days are gone and we can hopefully be more civil to one another. And that makes it a great social issue photo. Where the Bird (one fingered salute) comes from I have no idea, but is seems to originate from the US? Hope my spelling is ok tonight he he.
