To the Editor:

There they go again, a usual group of collaborators buzzwording their way through yet another protracted meeting followed by the obligatory field trip.

As reported in the Sept. 26 Blue Mountain Eagle, the Blue Mountains Forest Partners (BMFP) recently held a meeting which addressed, among several topics, the dismal health of our public forests, the high risk of fire and the need to act.

I’m reminded of golf lessons my wife and I took several years ago from a no-nonsense get-the-point pro. His most common and prolific saying was “analysis leads to paralysis.”

Sound familiar?
