Quite right, Myr - I would expect to learn the custom, just like visiting _any_ new territory. I perhaps assumed too much in figuring the meta-reference to the [/shrug] code would suggest no heavy hand was intended but.

As to giving Dale a hard time (apart from the fact it's obviously mandatory!) I had got the impression his usage of the tilde was *singularly opaque, having often omitted to make entirely clear what the reference point was.
