So a new user logs into my BBS today and elects to "Chat with the Sysop".

This computer is connected to a 4-channel audio mixer that allows me to have
some other things plugged in, and it happened that I was listening to music on
headphones. The Sysop-Page feature beeps the PC speaker, which I didn't 
realize until now, maps to the audio driver *at full freaking blast*, and 
because NOBODY has paged me since... I think 2004, I forgot what it sounded 
like.

So I get a blast of PC audio noise in my ear because I left that Line channel
mixed on high volume, probably in a drunken stupor, and when I went to answer
the page, the person said "I AM A NOOB".

So... okay... Welcome to my BBS, you'll find all kinds of stuff here, etc etc,
told my story and all I got was "HOW DO I EXIT CHAT?".

Before I could reply with "Turn off your caps lock key for starters", he 
disconnected...

Anyone else here still getting Sysop page-requests on your boards?

Nick
