straight signals?

Found this after surfing from blog to blog. I remember reading a good article on the rules of IM or something of the sort, but hadn't seen the site since that. Methinks I'll visit more frequently.

This is the dismal magic of the Straight Sign. It's a way of saying, "Dude, I'm not gay. I'm not putting the moves on you." This is the card that inevitably must be thrown on the table to indemnify all future conversation against perceptions of sexual interest. Most urban straight men thrust up against one another are unable to proceed very far without it: this mutual absolution, this flipping out of a badge, this secret handshake.
