how to strip a bang from a message

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
problem you are seeing.
