Can I butt in again...?
I still feel that we are attacking this from the wrong angle. What is
it that we want?
If we can decide upon that then it may turn out that this debate is not
necessary. In my opinion working from a half finished lump of code is
not the correct approach. From the Mythical Man Month "Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow."
Let's decide upon what we want and rewrite the code to give us that
functionality.

But they dont, do they? The 'Logger' doesnt do anything except manage
the 'appender' by registering an appender, removing an appender
(yagni), and telling the appenders to do their thing when a message
comes in [write()]}. Really, 'Loggers' in the current sense are just
another LoggerManager, they basicly do the same thing. Only difference
is that 'Loggers' manage 'Appenders' and 'LoggerManager' manages
'Loggers'. How about we call them MiddleManagers? :)
MailAppender doesnt currently do anything, but will it really be
'appending' an email? If someone is inclined to make an SMS alerter
using the logging, will it really be appending SMS messages?
*shrug* If it's just me than I can live with that, but I think it's a
poor choice of words that dont truly reflect the actions or
responsibilities of the objects.
