Okay, but why do you need to hide some columns in the first place? I'm wondering if your use case would justify adding options to print selected columns only, in a generic way (right now, you can only disable some). Another possibility would be to rename "Local Address:" to "Local:" and "Peer Address:" to "Peer:" -- in some cases (UNIX sockets) it's already not so much of an address, more of a path, and "Address" doesn't really add value when the field contains an address. I don't like too much "Local_Address:" and "Peer_Address:" as the output is supposed to be human-readable by default, and that underscore just doesn't fit. -- Stefano
