I see subtlety is beyond you.
Let me spell it out.
Only I can make the blue fish. Don't bother trying. It won't work. I know. I wrote the forum code to put it there.
Clear?

OK It is going to be your own personal trade mark. I bet someone will eventually find your cryptic key controls. It's cool, we'll just have to make do with it on user pages. all the best vegiman

OK folks - when you post to a thread, the cgi script looks through the posting text for and replaces it with . If the user happens to have userID 23 (i.e. only Shim), it replaces it with [bluefish] instead.
We can't do it. Only Shim. There's no fancy key combination or anything, so don't bother looking for it!
That's what it sounds like anyway.
