To put it another way, what's past is past -- clearly, total fire prevention did not work. And clear-cutting does prevent fires, but it is a pretty extreme remedy. So that is why I am trying to evaluate the various middle-ground solutions. I am guessing that the answer is not so simple.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
