Any time I bring up the subject on this list, not one person responds. Not
even a comment. One would think this was an important enough issue to
follow-up on. We need to know what is happening in the states that didn't
automatically adopt the UPLR.
Come on guys. do we have to wait until 2009 to get an answer?

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!

the US is clearly in the minority (a minority of one to be exact) then the
US adoption of metric only labelling is the clear solution to the increased
costs of dual packaging. As metric only labelling appears to be the trend I
don't see where the 2009-12-31 deadline should be a problem for US
companies... unless of course they ignore the metric labelling issue until
2009-12-30<

likely the single most important short-term goal this organization can have.
If it fails to do this, I would be very concerned about the usefulness of
the organization in contributing in a meaningfully significant way to the
metrication of the United States.
