Russ/Joe/Ed/Lee- I'm really liking the Wikipedia-ization of our world, and I think we need to take back our words that have started out right but been bastardized by various sources! Let's not give up on words that have meaning to us! I really liked the original intents in using words like sustainable yield, old-growth, forest health, biodiversity, and others like them. Our use, and the context we place them in, contributes to the continuing evolution of these words...to paraphrase Dylan Thomas, do not go gentle into that dark night (of 'spin' coinage), rage, rage against the dying of the light! Let's take back our language, corporations and agencies are but single entities! -DonRB

I would like to add that the term "forest health" is well on the way to being bastardized as badly as the term "sustainable" has and the some sort of real world non industrial definition of forest health is probably overdue.
