Title wasn't editorialized in keeping with forum guidelines, but I found the topic interesting (TIL wood banks), so I leave it to mods to update the title to something they find more appropriate (if necessary). "There are wood banks? Interesting! How do they work? Why do we need them?" and so on.

To be fair, I don’t think OP was directing that statement to you, the submitter. Rather, he was commenting on the article itself.

Totally, and that's fair; I hope the discussion can be more about the topic and not the quality of the article itself. Lots of other links in this thread on the topic (rural wood banks) that are relevant, and I think it's an interesting story about community, rural self reliance, governance system failures, etc. "Think in systems."
It's easy to say "this article is trash and move on." Lets do the hard way and talk about the topic instead of the piece specifically. Please try to be curious.
