I climbed the rest of the hill thinking about it, and it was just another reminder that all of us reading this are on the same side in the grand scheme of things. Let's continue to presume that others have good will towards us when we discuss the details in cycling.
Be safe,

I had that experience up on Wildcat. Just past the botanical gardens Wildcat is narrow and winding two lanes. I took the lane and a car came up behind me. I saw an approaching car that the car behind me could not see because I had a better view around the bend. I put the left hand down for stay back. After the approaching car passed I had a good view of the road a good distance up and it was clear. I waved them up. and the car passed safely using the entire oncoming lane. The passenger rolled down the window and waved and gave a thumbs up.

Clever, but I think you have to be VERY careful about how you display
that one finger, so it won't be mistaken for a very different one-finger
hand signal...
