FWIW, according to MS Manual of style, "Log on", "log off". Also suggest
"logon" should only be used as an adjective. Also make the common sense rec.
that "log off of" is bad, "log off from" is preferred.
Last project it was decided you "log on" a network, but could "log in" to a
system... So much for standards... Personally, I think this is one of those
things were consistent usage is more important than "correct" usage.

lunchtime. We had a little dispute over which of the following terms was the
right one. I will not influence your opinion by telling you the right one
