John and Doreen,   Welcome to the list. I'm in the US, but there are definitely some Canadian subscribers.   How did you find out about the mailing list?   What in particular moves you to support continued metrication?   As a pharmacy student in 1974, I had to solve calculation problems in avoirdupois, apothecary, and metric units. It dawned on me then that any system but metric was unacceptable, and my interest was piqued by further reading on the issue in the United States.   Paul Trusten, R.Ph. 3609 Caldera Boulevard Apartment 122 Midland TX 79707-2872 USA 432-694-6208 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   "There are two cardinal sins, from which all the others spring: impatience and laziness."                                                                 ---Franz Kafka ----- Original Message ----- From: john mercer To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 10:26 PM Subject: [USMA:26758] Introduction Hello my name is John Mercer.  my wife Doreen and I live in Langley British Columbia Canada about 60 kilometers east of Vancouver.  I am 54 years old and Doreen is 55.  We were both educated in the imperial system of measurement.  I feel the Metric system is a much better system to work with.  I am looking forward to talking with fello metric advocates. I have been totally blind since birth, Doreen is sighted.  Are there any other people on this list from Canada? It would be nice if the United States would go metric, it would help us in Canada. Thank you everybody for your time, hope to hear from some people.
