Ah, punning on the subject of the thread. It's a bit of an old chestnut.
And can make you hoarse if you overdo it.

Mods I think this thread needs pruning.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

Acorny thread if ever there was one. I'm pining for something more sensible.

It's plane to see I'll have to do it...

In all seriousness I see the wanton destruction of trees as a desecration. It's not a sentimental feeling I have, just a deep, deep sadness.

This chap's book is worth a look.
