Mike,

thanks. I had gone thru the faq too quickly and missed this particular 
line:

The culprit is that once the logger Cat::Subcat decides to fire, it 
will forward the message unconditionally to all directly or indirectly 
attached appenders. The Cat logger will never be asked if it wants the 
message or not -- the message will just be pushed through to the 
appender attached to Cat.

Thank-you for maintaining log4perl, and the excellent faq.
