On the same token, [route noop] would output the original message from the right outlet if it's not noop. I guess, depending which object was doing the receiving, the left outlet wouldn't have to be hooked up at all. If it was going into [pack], for instance, or [append], I believe they store old values for cold inlets. Otherwise I think you'd still need to go through a [float] or [symbol] to send the previous value with the bang from route or select, in which case just using "bang" in place of "noop" might be faster, no?

I can't say much for special message status, but you could use a select object on the recieving end of your messages. [select noop] would have two outlets and output a bang from the right outlet for any message other than "noop" (and a bang from the left inlet for "noop") Chuck On 2/17/07, David F.
