[USMA:27164] RE: Metric chat rooms

[Bill Potts]

John:   To the best of my knowledge, there are no metric chat rooms.   I suspect that's because anyone with anything worthwhile to say about the metric system and the process of metrication would rather do it in the form of a reasonably well-thought-out message than by way of the chat room equivalent of a sound bite. Also, chat room participation is very time-consuming and tends to have a high noise level (including highly irrelevant material, for example).   That may appear to be a little élitist, but I believe it to be a fact.   Bill Potts, CMS Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of john mercer Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2003 20:00 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:27163] Metric chat rooms Hello could anybody tell me if there are any metric chat rooms on the internet?  I would need a room where I could use my microphone.  I have software in my computer that turns text in to speech so I can read what is on the screen.  I would be really interested in metric chat rooms, where ideas could be exchanged Thanks for all your help..
