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? ;-) Marcus On Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:37:04 Joseph B.
