I'm curious: what use-case is fulfilled by the additional messages generated by the appender?

We have a custom appender that may itself need to issue logging

I suppose there must be a better way.
What would that be?

A technique that seems to work is to NOT declare a logger in the Appender class that you want to use one from, but instead create a static logger instance somewhere that is accessible through static methods.  That way the logger does not need to be created at the time of appender instantiation.
