[USMA:29073] Re: REI brochure

[Predrag Lezaic]

I am a backpacker and mountaineer and rockclimber and the only units I 
have problem with are feet. So even suggesting that REI should put 
something other than metric in their publications or anywhere else is 
making me sick to my stomach. If someone wants to convert it to feet be 
my guest.

Leadville is US highest incorporated city and it is at 10,430 feet. I 
think this is just as easy to remember as it is to 3048 m. And it makes 
more sense.

Maybe I am on the wrong list? I thought that by now at least few people 
would write emails praising REI and saying that we should support them 
and many others that might come. Instead I am defending my pro-metric 
stance. Dissapointing :( But maybe I am missing the point here.
