TM274

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......an interesting point. Funnily enough, while at Lodge last night, I paid particular attention to this during our opening. Most of the bretheren had their thumb down, though a few had it up.
I believe that during the "opening", the thumb should be down.

In our MoR, the AoR has the thumb "down".

Therefore, SoF , thumb should be "UP"
I'm sure you can work all this out.

Hope this clears it up for you.

As there are eavesdroppers, from time to time in these forums, I will not go into detail as the section in my MoR is lengthy.

In a nutshell........
Opening ......down.
All others.....up.

As I have mentioned........."eavesdroppers".....This new area of technology has many uses.
One to spy......others to learn.
One must be guarded.........and personally, too many enquires are being made the "silly way" rather than being asked at the source of origin.
We learn our craft within the Lodge. All enquires suchforth, should be "asked" within the Lodge.
Matters of this nature could be answered within.
