The problem is default minimum post lengths which we are rather religious about .. `@discobot help` is 14 chars.

I believe our default minumum post lengths out of the box are 15 chars for post replies, and 10 chars for PM replies?

On top of that, you _could_ rename `@discobot` to `@bob` as well which further complicates minimum post length.
