I made a Logger class and started writing to it. Hmm, my log messages sometimes have a format and sometimes they don't. Nothing I do fixes this. Oddly enough, current ActiveSupport does almost this exact same thing (https://github.com/rack/rack/issues/363) and last night I had a similar epiphany after a similar time sink that the original poster did 7 years ago. Found this thread while googling and the title made me have to read it. Didn't realize how topical it would be. :) It's apparently going to be fixed in Rails 4, and there are known workarounds, but I just had to open this back up for the nostalgia. Nathan
