I'll speak up for this....Personally, I don't want that level of logging.
The purpose of
the log is catch errors and problems, not to fill up a disk with junk
messages about what
data went where.  There are several other good ways to check on product
receipt and
transmission.  LDM has proven itself to be reliable, I don't need
confirmation, I need to
know about errors and problems.
