Not a question but a thanks: Thank you, Randy D., for the tilde. :)

Hi Randy,
Just wanted to say it was you who brought tildes to my attention and made me curious about them.
Now I use them in all sorts of ways:
In fiction, one to indicate a time gap between the parts of a story, and three to indicate the end of a story.
In research preparation, one to indicate a new interview or research source, three for a new topic, five for a new section, seven for the finish.
They're great!
They help direct my attention to a change.
I could have used asterisks or hashes or a combo such as <--->, but I just love the sine-wave feel of the tilde.

Thank you! :)
