I think that was Linc (?)
But he did that to represent TLG rubber bands, much the same as others have
done to represent hoses. So that wasn't a case of "non-TLG" pieces.
As far as message size goes, yes it does inflate things a bit, as do custom
hoses. In the case of hoses, that is something we will have to live with, as
each hose adds about 100 lines of code to a file.
How much a custom rubber-band will add to the file I don't know.
Just my .02 on that. :-)
