Nice try, when you can't be constructive you turn to dismissive.
No Lynda I'm not 'THE expert', but I do know a bit about this topic
since I do sustainable forestry management. I was suggesting that you
get educated before you make false broad blanket statements like you've
been doing. You have at your finger tips, in books and the web, a world
of information. Educate yourself.
It is sad when you respond to a valid discussion and opposition to your
ideas with remarks like this. It shows a rigidity in your thinking.
Ease up and try to clear your mind a bit before you go forward. You
could learn a lot that way. It is okay.
