I am sure that your reasonable mind would wonder about the ensuing chaos in the marketplace if NO guidance were in place. Vendors could sell anything they wanted, any way they wanted to measure it. In our country, Canada, this would mean watching out for an undersized gallon (quart, pint etc.) and an oversized fluid ounce! What would your feeling be about the government staying out of the question of which side of the road to travel on? Which currency should prevail - decimal or non-decimal? Having someone else tell us what to do can be vexing; it can also be beneficial. Duncan
