Michael,

You are a great set up man.

My comment about whether people are using logging as the tool they have 
to do things that may not be best done with logging was about just this. 
If you are trying to do figure out what happened from a past event, 
logging is the perfect tool. If it is an infrequent event, logging is 
possible but requires you to filter the useful response out of the 
flood. If you are trying to debug why something is working a given way 
in the active server, I think there are better designs than to overload 
logging.

Separating the problems to be solved from the solutions is the key 
starting point.
