Hidden space - a hole in the MN time/space continuum?

[BecauseImWorthIt]

I have noticed that in long
posts, suddenly there appears a rogue space.

Is this a secret door into the wonderful world of MNHQ, or something more mundane to do with the arcane world of coding?

Look:

Hoping it's worked ....

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Yep - it's every 9th line.

Does Dan Brown know?

[JaMmRocks]

yikes

[southeastastra]

yes noticed that too, very odd

i think we're being watched

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

[HinnyPet]

oooh - does that work with all the emoticons?

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Oh yes - and it works with text too.

I first noticed it when people write lists, e.g. those attending the MN Christmas party. Every so often, there would a rogue space in someone's name.

[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/meetups/826650-The-Big-London-Xmas-Meet Look - every 9th line - find my name first, and then you can see it's every 9th line after that ... ]]

Ooh look! It happens a lot!

Are our messages secretly coding something to outer space?

[NorbertDentressangle]

Its on lines:
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, and 26

God I must be bored

[BecauseImWorthIt]

So why, when copying emoticons, would it occur only on every 9th line?

[VulpusinaWilfsuit]

I
simply
refuse
to
believe
that
this
can
possibly
or
remotely
be

true
Surely
not
BIWI?

Look it worked,
a random gap in lines 4 and 7

[choccyp1g]

Look it worked,
a random gap in lines 4 and 7

and a missing gap in line 1 should say
GOT TO

[VulpusinaWilfsuit]

Feck! There IS one.

Call Mulder and Scully. Or Cap'n Janeway. It's a Worm Hole.

[GuyFawkesIsMyLoveSlave]

BIWI -- because it only occurs in the first 9 characters in every 9th line. The lines where the random space is inserted later than the 9th character won't show up the space.

And another thing, that second post was still there in the typing box AFTER I had posted it...
I didn't retype the first two lines
