That probably wasn't me since I don't have many pipes but I've read that many times and I agree. I am totally not above modifying something just because it's expensive or old or unique. To me, some object that is too fancy to use it's just something to get in the way and eventually get broke after I've babysat the stupid thing and worried about it for years It would be different if it was a keepsake in memory of someone or of times past or whatnot and I couldn't fix it without great risk of destroying it; then, even if it didn't work, I'd probably hang on to it anyway.
