It is much better to address the underlying problem rather than ignoring it. If you encounter a situation where you have something flooding your logs, there's an actual problem with your system, and generally something quite serious. Sure, there are occasional bugs where something logs too frequently, but more serious problems are more common. I would suggest focusing on these real issues instead of manufacturing hypotheticals. -- Cheers, Luna Celeste
