well just to be difficult  -- I think in accord with normal (non-Geekly) 
usage it ought to be semi-colon (;)  between concepts. Then a hyphen may 
be used to adjoin compound concepts, as in normal usage. Indeed a comma 
may be sufficient. I don't like the internal capital in conjoined words, 
it looks too much like computer code, I would rather see a nonhyphenated 
version i.e. "Sharealike".

Or should we discuss the benefits and risks of the m-dash versus n-dash?
