Ah, right, I forgot about .CAT.  You're right, it's not the raw size, it's 
the extent to which the intended community uses it.  But I still don't see 
the beauty contest as an effective way to pick winners since it's about 3 
for 12 at this point.  A lottery would probably do as well, at much lower 
cost.
