John, Obviously they would not come anyway. I have mentioned in the thesis the websites of all the pro metric organizations I know. But for the sake of fair play and balance, which is an academic demand as well, I have also mentioned the websites of the opposition: BWMA, the UKIP, IAML, F2M, Inch Perfect. I have compared metrication in the Netherlands with other countries, and the English speaking nations were taken into account. I discussed the Metric Martyrs, for instance, stressing that they were not convicted for 'using pounds and ounces' but for not using metric at all and for using unauthorised scales and weights. The fact that they are still entitled to use oz/lb was also mentioned. One day, when translation programs become good enough at last, when they no longer produce gobbledygook but decent translations, I will make it available to all of you. But there is an English summary and I will send that soon in an e-mail with a Word 2000 attachment. No fears, I have Norton Anti-Virus 2000 updated to the latest virusdefinitions and it also scans outgoing mails and attachments.
