Jon,

A wave can be much more than friendly. It can mean stay away. It can
mean HELP! it can mean "STANDBYE" It can mean "STAND OFF."

It was used by Migrating tribes. It is still used to get assistance
along the Highway, Crowd control. It is a universal mean of
communication. Everyone knows 2 hands up is Surrender.

It isn't restricted to boating. Traffic is controlled with waving
motions. Even modern day signals recognize the value@ A red lite open
palm at a cross walk

Jon, you can have my points, now that you've been reminded of how
universal waving is in our life.
