Hi,

Its not very nice to make demands to "the devs" like they are little elves that work for you.
Have you no tact?  Aren't there 100 more polite ways to get your point across?
You knew you were ranting because you said so.  That was your brain telling you not to press send....

If you don't like uuids, you just open logfile.conf.xml and comment out the uuid param.

Anything else you don't like, submit a pull request....

Hello Peter,

You've got the wrong end of the stick.

Remove the UUIDs is not what I'm saying .... at all.  ;-)
