I have received only a handful of USMA emails this year. Today, however, I
happened to open the long neglects address [ jak...@snet.net ], and saw
lots of USMA emails there. Please eliminate the "snet" address and use only
this "gmail" one.

Yup, agree. Commas are still annoying though. :)

ISO/IEC 8 allows the use of either the comma or the full stop
(period) as the decimal marker, I believe. The SI Brochure allows either.
ALL international standards, NIST SP 811, IEEE/ASTM SI 10 and many
standards derived from them specify that neither a comma nor a full stop
should be
It look as a nice compromise on each part. The US goes metric and the French
drop the comma :)

I'm all about metric, but hate the comma as a decimal sign. :)

Interesting conversation with a neighbour over here in France this afternoon.
He’d go down to the local metal dealer with his order for 3500 mm of steel. But
the guy would say "no cannot do that" and he couldn’t understand why. I asked
how are you writing the 3500? Put it down on paper for me.
