   Well, I suppose I should read all 86 pages of the manual.  That should only
   take a couple hours.

   When I did read the man page(s), I searched for "beep".  Since the
   documentation considers the correct term to be "bell", I didn't find it.  I
   don't know anybody who calls it a "bell".

   Well, that pretty much defines you as a jerk.  

No, no, no.

Chet didn't create that feature, *I* did, so *I* get to be the jerk.
