You probably don't see the irony in that!

Hi Bill & all
 
you write
 
<<You are correct in saying that you don't have specific knowledge of the Conf�rence G�n�rale. The people who attend the CGPM are not French academics, but are representatives of their respective countries. I don't believe France has any greater representation than any other country>>
 
In my reasonably long experience of attending meetings I've come to the conclusion that who attends is pretty much irrelevant - its he who writes the minutes that counts.  But anyhow - that issue is no going to be advanced by us exchanging simplistic one-liners.
 
How about answering my earlier question - where did the US customary ton come from?  Any 'FFU' users care to answer?
