I am not trying to make a logical assessment. This is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with it.

I am simply saying that:

1. If your handsign is something secret and sacred, showing it all the time lessens the "specialness" of it. The more times you see something, the less novel it becomes.

2. If it represents something secret and sacred, and it's viewed often by non-members (this goes for things like acronyms as well), people will try to figure it out. Even though they may not learn the meaning behind it (hence out of context), having the "secret" exposed can be very disappointing for members.

3. If it is meant as an accessory - or para like Coqui said - that's fine.

I have never used a handsign. I didn't know they existed for Greeks until a few years ago. People have come here explaining that they are integral parts of their history and such, and I am simply trying to understand what people are saying.
