[USMA:27998] metric news group

[Chimpsarecute]

Someone went through the trouble of setting up a metric news group and there is no posting.  Unless I'm at the wrong place.  It seems to be part of sci.misc.  The few postings that are there are from November and seem to be against the idea of the newsgroup being created.   I highly doubt anyone from a metric country is going to contribute as they are already metric.  They don't care if the US converts or not.  Many may feel the US not metricating is to their advantage.  They have a competitive advantage when selling their products in other countries.    I have to admit I haven't posted anything either, but i'm wondering why others haven't.   Euric
