Why do LGLO/MCGLOs follow NPHC practices?

Just that it is not unheard of.

Again, I am not concerned with rather so-and-so's handsign has a secret meaning or if it's official or anything of the sort. But when you have non-NPHC groups proudly showing their handsigns on threads like these, then there is no real reason to think that handsigns are simply a trivial and haphazard action just because they do not hold the same meanings that the NPHC handsigns do.

You're missing the point.

If you've read the pertinent pages of this thread already, you need not rehash these topics. If you haven't read the pertinent pages of this thread already, you should do so.

How can I miss a point that I originated?

I made a post and there was an issue with what I posted. I'm referring to my original post and nothing else.

Read threads? Um no...again, it's not that serious.

If you think you "originated" the point then you didn't read the thread. Do that.

Um, I did read this thread. If you re-read my original post, you will see I pointed out a different slant on the topic from the perspective of a member who's been there for most of my orgs. existence.

The original poster of the thread has yet to come forward and say "oh that's enough; I have all the information I need" and the thread is still open. If the moderator wishes to delete my post for reiteration than be it. But since neither one of those things have happened (as of right now), I think you're getting way too worked up over nada.

Yes; "threads" is plural; this is one thread.

I wasn't specifically looking for anything; just getting some others' perspectives.

This was kinda a spin-off thread, anyway. I forgot from where.

From that "Why so many Greek orgs?" thread.

Cool. {sigh} Sorry for hijacking this thread with a really (overall) pointless back-and-forth thing. Hopefully you were still able to get what you were looking for.
