I have a console project that I have been working on. I added log4net to handle all my logging. In some places I have made use of the console appender. When I turn this application into a Windows Service should I just remove the console appender or what happens to that output? Does it just get lost?

I would like to keep it if all possible because if I run it straight from the command prompt I would like to see the console output to help debug things.
