I am glad to see you around here Dan. If you only show around here from
time to time, or not ever again, the patrons and instructors can learn a
lot from you as your first post shows. By the way, as long as there are
patrons and instructors, it is everybody's Jym.
Regarding @. ,in the context of this Jym, I also avoid it and, as far as I
can see, it can always be avoided (even from an orthodox standpoint)
because Adv's definition [0] does not rely on it and, in principle at
least, any tacit adverb can be expressed as v Adv. I currently use it in
one tool, not because it is necessary, but because the context is ideal for
@. and therefore it is very efficient.
