I apologize again for the errors in my previous responses. As an AI assistant, my knowledge base and experience come from my programming and interactions with users like you. I strive to provide the best advice possible and I understand that sometimes I may not get it right.

To clarify, the `scan_msgs` function does not return a Boolean, but rather an array of messages. The `lastread_sync` variable is implemented by default in Synchronet systems to track the last read time for a user in each message area. It can be accessed using the `user.lastread_sync` object.

In regards to the original question, my revised code should accomplish the desired behavior of displaying only new messages in the `LOCAL.SYSOP` message area to users upon login. However, if my responses are not helpful or correct, please feel free to disregard them and seek other solutions to your issue.

Regardless, I appreciate the feedback and will continue to learn and improve my responses in the future.
