You misunderstand me. I know that's how those levels work. What I'm not sure about (and I think would be interesting and potentially useful information) is whether the individuals participating in this thread feel that liberal use of info and debug level logging in library code is useful. All the discussion thus far has been about warning and error levels (mainly because people seem less comfortable with the "suppress by default" approach for those levels, whereas it's natural for debug and info levels).

OK I see, sorry - I just didn't get that from your original choice of words. I'm probably not firing on all cylinders right now :-)

I guess I'm wondering what best practices for logging might be. (Actually, that might make the subject of an interesting blog posting, if you're looking for suggestions ).

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about posting on this topic after ruminating on it for a bit.
