Hi Bruce,

I'm not trying to call _free directly. I am trying to free the resource, which was not properly instantiated, by setting it to 
Null (which calls _free automatically, correct?). A logger with an invalid output file is useless. So, if .Begin() fails, I 
would need to kill the logger and re-create it with a valid sink. But, it is like a ghost object. It can't be used and can't be 
destroyed.

BTW, you wrote that? Were you using an alias back then? ;-)
