As much as I believe Jim Hurst to be misguided in his analysis of the
effects of clearfelling on forest ecology, he is attempting to present a
case for his opinion.  Would you either present a case for yours that is more
specific than clearcutting=love canal, or attempt to demonstrate what you
believe to be the faults in the cases presented by others?
