Hello, Cole, Welcome to the group, pal. :-)
I'm just curious though... Why, while claiming to be such an enthusiast of the metric system, do you already place "exception(s)" to your support?... If there is ONE area where the beauty of the SI system would be quite *visible* to all is in sports, regardless of what that sport is!
