Before y'all begin cheering, consider the point I made awhile back. If and when mandatory-metric legislation is attempted in the USA, you can bet that US metric opponents will parade the Metric Martyrs all over the country as examples of the evils of mandatory metrication. This case is a tremendous setback to the liberty of the citizens of the UK. And it will slow the acceptance of metrication in the USA. Jim Elwell
