Larry's a guy with past history on timber issues, and I have to say if
he's pulling our leg, it's lengthy pull, a couple of years at least.

Personally, I'd prefer he be ignorant and well meaning, rather than
knowledgable and a lying fuck.

It's comforting to know that foresters know better too, because
his next post is probably going to be a claim that foresters know
he's right, and that us fucking conservationists are wrong, esp.
those who are biologists and study these ecosystems.

[why would a species like nso evolve if 50-year burn cycles
were the norm???]
