Right.  And I hoped to point out that it's probably not a good idea to 
have images that seem like they're coming from WordPress look like crop 
circles in litter boxes, or other strange "Don't do that" images.  It's 
also probably not worth the effort to track which images this technique 
had been applied to for later housekeeping.

Instead, simple blanket hotlinking denial should suffice, and incoming 
links to images will instead point to actual useful pages containing the 
images (along with WordPress copyright info) rather than simply showing 
only the image itself.
