> Why does using a threshold=off not achieve the same as "pause"?
It does, but for semantics it might be useful to have this 'behaviour', even if it's implemented by having a Threshold set to off. I also agree it's very blurred. Could we convert this Pauseable interface then into a Thresholdable? (with setLevel/getLevel). From a GUI perspective I can implement pause as setting Threshold=Off. If we use this interface, and get Appender/Logger et all all supporting this interface, then there is nothing to stop us having all the lugin, Category, and Appender definitions sitting in a nice GUI tree for ease of management. Anyway, to summarize, +1 on Pause gets converted to Threshold.OFF.
