Will doesn't like being @'ed.

Which is some irony in this current discussion as the @ symbol was originally used as a secret designator/identifier amongst the society of Baker-Stonemasons who did all of the work on the foundations of important buildings using various formulations of pastry, pies, tarts, etc.

Ah, apologies
So the little arrow and line mark I often see makes sense now - obviously indicated level tablespoon.

Interestingly #CSB
Freemasons were originally Freezemasons and they built municipal buildings out of ice. With the Industrial Revolution and subsequent global warming they had to band together to protect themselves from any repercussions and became the Freemasons we know today.

While Roman Catholic churches, in northern Italy mainly use the colomba. Which can be seen in the colomba shaped columns with it the churches structure.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
