-------------------------------------------

@Chris

-my loggers are usually set up to log exceptions, some people's don't. I have a strategic plan to write a better junit test reporter one day that would even log the stack in a structured form, but that's so far down my todo list I wouldn't wait for it.

-The toString() operation gets logged in a couple of places (initalize, offerService), but it's also handy for anyone stepping through code in IDEs: you can see what's going on. I think own my code does print it out in a couple of places, though that's just a handy extra to let me compare what I think I'm passing down to what the class thinks it's picked up. Logging failures is more important.
