It's kind of like picking up the grenade someone tosses at you, pulling the pin, and throwing it back. It may end up being sent directly to the trash, but that's fair. That's what I did with their subscription form.
Gee, that was fun.As a *Lifetime Certified Advanced Metrication Specialist*, I am afraid: I do contribute to your action. May be I should also have deleted YOUR mail as most people do to my mails.
STAND UP & BE COUNTED, so you could claim "you attempted to do it RIGHT". My applogy if I offend, but send your mail all the way and being put into TRASH?????

Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****
From: James Frysinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [USMA:28420] Feedback to a magazine Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 19:19:21 -0500
I just got a big, gaudy envelope congratulating me for being selected and announcing that I was already (as of now!) a member of Handyman Club of America. The envelope included a plastic drill bit gauge that goes down to 64-ths of an inch. Guess what...ain't got no millimeters.
I love it when they hand you the ammo. I marked the gauge (on both sides) with
"Semi-useless; no metric sizes present". I also jotted a sticky note saying:
"Your magazine is old fashioned. It does not include metric
info. Until then, forget it!"
And I'll stidk this in their kindly provided postage-paid business reply
envelope to send it to them. Of course, this is one place where I break my
self-imposed rule against anonymous mailings. I left off any identification
so that they can't claim I subscribed.
