2001-12-22 That is the only way. Boycott companies and businesses that don't do metric. And don't be afraid to tell them you are not buying their products for that reason. And it may not hurt to inform them that for everyone of you who does write to tell them why, there are hundreds who don't bother to write.
Hit them where it hurts most, in the cash register. And in this time of economic decline, businesses might be more attentive to customer quirks. So, now is as good a time as any to push the issue.
