Title: Happy Escape Sequence Day!

+++ Day, celebrating 40 Years of the Hayes Escape Sequence! Today we honor
one of the most iconic pieces of dial-up history: the ΓÇ£+++ΓÇ¥ escape
sequence. The clever trick that let BBS sysops and modem hax0rs jump from
data mode back to command mode without hanging up. Originally patented 40
years ago under US 4,549,302 [https://tinyurl.com/US4549302A] by Hayes
Microcomputer Products and inventor Dale Heatherington, this innovation
changed online communication forever.
