[logback-user] I'm getting the "substitute logger" error message yet my appender still works

[Paul Gifford]

Thanks Ralph - you nailed it.  I have a logger set up in my appender, but I
don't use it during my appender's construction.  I'm going to remove that
logger and see if I get the same error message.
