I don't think that's true but if I'm wrong then USMA are welcome to tell me so. Their goal is unashamedly to metricate the US fully to all intents and purposes.
In this respect how do you stop people using imperial?
Would you advocate the removal of inches on a ruler (in the UK we have cm on one side and inches on the other).
To "fully metricate" surely that would require the nation's inhabitants and not just the 'state' level?
but given who the host is and the kind of discussion that we see between fellow pro-metrics I doubt if many of your contributions are relevent.
So it's not relevent to hear about a fellow English-speaking country's metrication processes. It's not relevent to hear about the failures and successes of a country that has metricated more than the US has but is not metric yet?
They don't need your perspective
for the purposes of checks and balances. You are poles apart from most of us
on the issue of measurement and the role it plays in everyday life.
I don't think it's entirely fair to talk about "they" without the full knowledge of "their" opinions. As far as a "need" is concerned I can't comment as definitively as you seem to do.
Okay some seem to like your presence here that's up to them but I can't see you having any constructive influence on people who are trying to further the cause of metrication in the United States (proper metrication that is not your version of it).
It's all about listening to people's opinions. It's all about seeing the whole picture. I also post on the BWMA discussion forum where pro-metric folk have joined the forum to post a pro-metric perspective in a pro-Imperial site. I argue with them. We argue with each other. But I find their points of view (mainly) interesting. I would never post messages to those pro-metric folk to tell them that they are irrelevent or non-influencial.
