[Dancer-users] Logging and "info"

[Puneet Kishor]

My reading of this thread leans toward what I think was Ovid's intent -- "debug", "warn", "warning", and "error" proclaim something about the application, the code. While "info" is intended for the business logic, the function that the application is performing.
