[jboss-as7-dev] manual way to do logging?

It's not an accurate usage of the word self-righteousness. I am simply showing our philisophical difference by restating what you have already said. You want to keep your "old school" approach and you are unwilling to consider any of the gathered requirements. This is putting the how ("old school approach") over the what (actual goals).
Another thing is that this is not a Jason and David framework. A lot of people had a hand in this, and a great deal of the implementation was done by external contributors. One of them we ended up hiring (James). The API design had significant contribution from Emanuel and Max and others. A number of localization efforts had even considered as well.
Yes we also did measurements both by ourselves and independently (Andy). The key aspects looked at were memory usage and contention. Eliminating the overhead of bundles was significant. You can try and belittle this all you want but all evidence to date backs up our claims. (oh and BTW the bug is one superfluous string concatenation not two since javac combines constants). It will be fixed (and it's a simple thing to do).
Now as to proof, you approach hasn't proven anything. That requires facts and data (see scientific method). All you seem to offer as "proof" is a mixture of logical fallacies and insult hurling.
It's a shame to see your contributions over the last few years to AS be in this form. I had hoped we'd all be on the same team.

You talk about how you put SO MUCH EFFORT, research, and thought into everything and yet there's a simple rookie mistake in the implementation. Its funny how much Andy et. al. praised the performance of JBoss Logging. Guess it goes to show you how much logging really has on system performance (which is pretty much my observation with all the profiling I've done over the years). Awesome you all put so much work into it!

Users don't give a shit about implementation details, so if I want to use a different approach for whatever reason that differs from the self-proclaimed uberness of Jason/David that's my prerogative, so fuck off. I've isolated logging in my projects, because in my own experience logging frameworks suck. Glad I've proven yet again, that this personal axiom holds true.

We write software to accomplish a goals that meet the needs of our users over our own personal enjoyment (and by users i mean the priority is on the ones that see the log messages, not the ones that write them) Apparently you prefer the opposite.
