This may have been discussed at another time in AllDeaf. If so, we have Repost Rangers who will bring it to the attention of the Merge Mercenaries (of which I'm one).
Until then, a normal, friendly wave is almost always a polite attention-getter, but looking like you're flapping wings for a take-off isn't too cool, ha ha ha.
I'm never offended by a soft touch on my arm or shoulder. A rough jab or inappropriate touch pretty much depends on who's doing the touching. For instance, Jennifer Love Hewett could poke me anyplace and get a big grin.
