I don't mind 'torps postings, though I'm just as sure as you are he's
far off on one end of the spectrum. The biggest problem working
foresters face is that they're always off in the woods. It's not part of
the culture to meet people with really different opinions - and when
they do meet, it's likely head-on. Torps beliefs are gospel for a lot of
people and not all of them are hanging in trees. Some of them are
setting policy.

And it is just as rare for those policy makers to have a chance to talk
to someone who actually practices forestry. All they hear is endless
flack from environmental lobbyists and industry lobbyists, neither of
whom get out of DC for more than 2 weeks a year.
