Hmm... my memory of BSL for sister is a double touch rather than a brush. I can see why it would seem that way from this site, but I think it is just emphasizing the movement for beginners. I agree with the first writing Stefan wrote rather than the relaxed bend in his second writing because I remember seeing it more of a tight bend then relax, but that really is up for the actual users of BSL to decide. ;-) In Stefan's first email, he mentioned brother so I had to take a look. Interesting. I had to check on the site to make sure that movement was an alternated up and down one that rubs because as it is written, I couldn't see how the rubbing happened if the hands both moved up and down together. After looking here, I found that I was right and it also looked to be a brush rather than a rub. So, I have added my version of writing it.
