Hhhhmmmmmm

The Federal Highway Administration symbol rotates clockwise and the sections are solid.

The BDSM symbol rotates counter clockwise and there is a hole in each section.

Why, I do declare! Beyond that they are very similar! Who'da thunk it?

YIK

As a side note - I'm one person that was contacted multiple times ever since 1997 when I opened one of my first sites by the self-proclaimed *coff* "copyright holder" asking for products or money if I continued to use the embelm. I just laughed at him, but evidently quite a few folks believed him over the years.

I think I'll be going with the M/s symbol from now on. The triskle lost some of its luster after reading that.

Ahhhh, very interesting. Someone told me a few years ago that she talked to this guy on AOL and that he said he was the designer, etc. and I had gut feeling misgivings about it. Your link clears up a lot.

Leather girls are men and women who find joy in being in service to others. A leather girl is a submissive, slave, or bottom with a feminine heart, regardless of gender.
