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?
