What is the best policy when separating words in URLS? Is it using hyphens or underscores? Or just joining the words up?

Is there any other options available?

This subject has been much-discussed here, and the short answer is "hyphens."

Try this search [google.com] for (much) more information. (1,470 matches on WebmasterWorld alone) :)
