$)CThanks, but I could change it myself if I was concerned. I'm worried
about the pattern/trend rather than this specific case. Changing a log
message occurred maybe once a month when I used to contribute. Now, I
see a dozen a week. And many for what I would call "pedantic" reasons
rather than helpful. CMike points out that log message fixed can be
good for all future contributors/readers, but I think the rigidity is
troublesome (as Lubbe noted).
