I'm wondering if there's a way of stripping a bang off a message. I ask this because I want to send messages into an OSC buffer without closing the buffer and sending it.

How is the bang getting associated with the message? Could you make a small example patch?

Sure, here's a mini example patch that might help describe what I want to do.

any message, int, float...whatever...will make the bang object light 

up. it's not a "bang" message, tho (although what comes out of the 

bang object as a result is a "bang" message).

if you connect a bang below the OSC object, you'll see that in fact 

no message is being sent until you send it a bang, so not seeing the

no message is being sent until you send it a bang, so not seeing the  
problem you are seeing.

The bang you see with the bang object hanging off of the prepend object is not part of the message. A bang object converts whatever message it receives into a bang.

Here's your patch modified to show the activity a little better:
