Dear Jim and All,
I read the Kilpatrick article and sent him my piece on how to avoid metric
measures.
He replied:
'Many thanks for your e-mail. I was aware of the growth in metric measures,
but you overwhelm me. I won't be writing about numbers any time soon, but
I'll save your compendium for the next column. Jack Kilpatrick'
Cheers,
