Since I was referencing YOUR post and subsequent responses, I didn't think it would be necessary to exclude you from my statement. Apparently, I was mistaken.

I don't believe anyone else was as that is a standard MECHANIC, not a SIGNAL.

I have however seen many umpires make more demonstrative signals and personally I think it makes the sell a little easier. Doesn't all selling look like showboating?

Look at it this way. Do you sell ball calls with demonstrative signals to make it "easier"? Do you sell a foul ball with the demonstrative signals to make it is "easier"? Trust me, you can make all the movements you want, if someone disagrees with you, that "signal" isn't going to make anything different or easier.
