Quick logger hierarchy question

[Lutz Michael <mi...@siemens.com>]

Quick question:

When a log message is passed up the hierarchy, **why** is the
check against the Logger Level only made at the Logger
where it enters?

In other words, if we have a logger "A.B.C", and Logger "A"
is set to WARN, and "A.B.C" is set to ALL, and a
DEBUG call is made by "A.B.C", this message
will be sent to A's Appenders even though
"A"'s level is higher than DEBUG.

Thanks for considering this question, I'm just trying
to understand the rationale for this design.

Mike
