I know but I had a conflicting design objective. I needed to come up with a process which could satisfy those who would list a page on VfD. IMO that requires two features: a definite timeline and feedback so they can see whether they are happy with the result and list it on VfD if they aren't. ~~~~ is the easiest way to both give a timestamp and identify who wants to be given feedback.
