[ Uh oh, vicious circle :-) ]

DH> I would tend to blame Analog for this, for not removing these or hiding
DH> these log entries. I believe the way to reports stats is "unintelligent"
DH> in the sense that it just looks at the log file and then displays
DH> everything it finds. I believe that these logs *should* appear in Apache
DH> logs, since it may be useful for troubleshooting but Analog should
DH> definitely not display these.

DH> If you wind up getting them to change the code in Analog, that'd be
DH> awesome and I'm sure I can get our administrators to push out a change to
DH> start using that new version instead. You may also want to submit a
DH> suggestion about this through your control panel here:

Errg, tried that system once. Fear the interface.

DH> I hope that helps some. Write back if I can do anything else for you.

DH> Thanks,
