==Since my comment was pretty much ignored, maybe because it was buried, that symbol doesn't mean anything more than 'peace' to most people==

Define 'most people', Jeri. I don't want to stir things up, but the rest of the world sometimes gets not unirritated by the bland American assumption that what they might think on any topic has to be the opinion of 'most people'. We are a small island, but there are quite a lot of people here too, you know? Europe is a smallish continent, but...   

BillD - you can run a takeover of the symbol to irrelevant websites till you are blue in the face: the fact remains that it is based on the semaphore for the letters CND.

Artbrooks saw reason and copped out. [So did Jeri, but has copped back in again!]

Murray, many thanks for your kind comment of 2.52PM.
