If certain companies are known to set standards and precedents in their area of expertise, then of course we should concentrate on them.
BTW, how metric are these stations now? Do they give all of their weather Data in SI, or just some? Elaborate! I wonder how many anti-metric forces are contacting them to stop. In the eyes of a luddite, this is a perfect opportunity to expose the world to FFU, and to show by example how well America does using just FFU. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nikolay O.
