Yes.  However, there is an option to disable timestamps in the logs, but I can't 
imagine any reason people would want to do that.

I have no idea why a log message would begin with a dot.  Can you provide an 
example?  Also, lines beginning with " -- sometext" look like the types of 
"verbose" messages shown on the console.  However, when verbose messages go to 
the log files, they should follow the same format as other messages, with a type 
of VERBOSE.  So, if you have examples of those, we can look at those, too.

Yes.
