Logging is one of the things I do not take exception to in the MS MoSfTP.
When not using an axe or a chainsaw, I follow MS consistently.
However, our programmers do not (we write exclusively for MS OSes).
So, when my interface and MS collide, and when our interface is consistent,
I go with the interface. Fortunately, our interface is not consistent, so I
usually end up with Microsoft and a slight contradiction with the GUI.
Don't even start to suggest that I forward a recommendation, what do you
think, I sit on my hands with my mouth shut????? <Vbg>
Cheers and a smile,
Sean
