Hrm. This is vaguely reminiscent of a time that I was on the phone to Local
TelCo, and got annoyed. I hit "mute" and screamed "You STUPID woman!" at the
top of my lungs before releasing the button. She said to me icily "We all
make mistakes, you know." It was only later that I found out that the mut
button didn't actually cut the microphone out, rather it just turned the
volume down very low. Unfortunately I screamed so loudly that she heard it.
Oops.
Aled.
PS. Can you delimit your .sig properly please?
Thanks.
