Note that 255 isn't the only blank space character in the ASCII chart.
There's three or four of them. I routinely ignored 255 as that was the one
most people used, hence was easily "crackable" if somebody figured out
that's what's you had done. 11 characters of ASCII 255's can be done
real-time by a human in a minute or two. Now, combinations of all four
blanks in all 11 filename characters... that was more time than I had
unless I knew the combination. Much safer than an ATM PIN number (using
NDD to work it out is akin to holding a gun to the head of the guy with the
plastic card and demanding the PIN number ;)
