I've got some friends who often need to set up PA gear in places where the audience can get very close to things the operators don't want strangers to touch, and can't always monitor it constantly. They made up signs with black and yellow striped borders that say, "DANGER: 10,000 OHMS" to scare people off. The thinking is that folks who know enough to giggle aren't likely to be clueless enough to muck with the equipment, but the ones that clueless might be scared off by the big number. Of course, the signs are accurate, since some of those terminals are line-level inputs. -- Glenn
