I beg your pardon???  I challenge you to show where in ANY OF MY POSTS that I have 
EVER said that 'metrication (is) a moral issue'!!!  There is a fundamental difference 
between considering this a **matter of principle** and a *moral issue*, sir!  These do 
NOT necessarily mean the same thing.

'Matter of principle' evidently means that defending metrication is TOTALLY in step 
with scientific developments since I've sustained here over and over and over again 
that this is the domain of **SCIENCE** and NEVER arts or culture or *even less* morals 
(S-I-C)!!!!!  If I'm a man of science I have NO CHOICE but to vehemently defend 
metrication on grounds of *principle*, scientific principles.  Therefore, please, 
**once again**, stop distorting my words or position, Joe.

Finally, it obviously goes without saying that indeed you're right on metrication also 
being 'a matter of common sense and efficiency'!
