I got this email recently (see below). When last I "spoke" with this guy, I wasn't really able to guess his angle on all of this, including whether he was pro- or anti- metrication (he's British, but that doesn't really mean much). If you want to respond to his request, please do it directly to him at <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I won't be replying to him, nor will I be forwarding to him mail sent to the list, or to me directly (note that my email address is no longer the one listed below).
