Oh, yeah, I forgot about that part. Thanks. I put the unseen pipe at
the end of the filter, but the beginning is like the sample on
exim.org for killing virus-look-alikes.

For society, it's probably a good thing that engineers value function
over appearance. For example, you wouldn't want engineers to build
nuclear power plants that only _look_ like they would keep all the
radiation inside.
