Looking at the "thumbs up" icon, it looks a LOT more like the double finger. Don't you think?

Yeah i've always thought that, and I think it's been used that way once or twice...

Sky lives in Vancouver. I guess when some one gets cut off they give them a "thumbsup".

Save and enlarge the icon and you will see exactly what it is.

Me, I don't appreciate it's use on a friendly BBS. I certainly won't use it because of what I see it as being

I guess it should be called the "dblmfinger"
I never really looked at the image all that close, but you are right Gerry it does not look like a double thumbs up.

I don't even think you can get that stuff down here. I'm more of a single-barrel bourbon guy in the afternoons... :)

That icon clearly has the thumb tucked in on the sides. Not a very friendly gesture and I'm surprised it didin't get brought up before with all the policing around here! Then again, it doesn't offend me - as not much does. Just found it ironic is all.
