This message of mine is not particularly addressed at Joe who wrote below, but to 
bring to EVERYONE's attention something I consider *EXTREMELY* important.

This kind of problem *already happened* in the past BTW. (I do remember seeing a host 
of continuous "trash" emerging *in sequence* for at least 5 posts or so.

Folks, this is the problem.  We MUST, absolutely *MUST* set the example.  Please 
forgive me for saying this (and with all due respect) but it's UTTERLY 
***UNACCEPTABLE*** that we, *metric supporters* OURSELVES, speak the very "language" 
we want to rid the world of.  Please, P-L-E-A-S-E, no more of ' 2" ',  ' 2 3/4" ', ' 
1/2 inch ', ' 12 inches ', etc, *exclusively*!  What is this???

Let's, again I repeat, ***give the example***, eh?  ;-)
