Errrrm, that was the point. That the only difference between a message
showing a Rogues Smiley and one that does not, is 3 bytes. Those three
bytes attributes to the : _ : that are different in my Rogues sig and
my non-Rogues sig.

I don't see where it was cheating if that was the exact point I was
trying to convey.

Technically, I didn't have to force people to use the : _ : in their
Rogues Smiley handle. I could have let them just use their normal sig
"name", and then there would be *absolutely* no difference whatsoever
in message size.

However, we've discovered it to be poor practice to not make the
Rogues Smiley handle unique (i.e. the whole (c) Copyright being
replaced by a coffee cup.)
