First of all, many thanks to all the enthusiastic people in this forum, which share their knowledge and time making the kindle even better!

Recently, I'm also into disabling the big brother features and looked into the files some of you mentioned so far. I tried to understand the showlog script, which is (by the way) not in /usr/sbin/ but in /usr/bin/ (kindle version 3, wifi only, firmware 3.3) and wondered why it should be sufficient to change the two previously mentioned lines but not the rest of the lines that pass some content to $OUTFILE ?!

Wouldn't it be enough/better/easier to change the definition of $OUTFILE from /dev/stdout to /dev/null? What do you think?
