I wonder who else agrees with you?
Or, I wonder if people are actually thinking like I'm thinking - that you
are increasingly embarrassing and hardly the best embassador to the metric
system.
In fact - there has been someone who used to posted here some time back
that claimed to be pro-metric - except he turned out to be an extremist
(or "fanatic", maybe) and did nothing but damage to the cause of
metrication.
The pro-imperial/pro-choice side seem to have their share of
fanatics/extremists. For example those who go around "ammending" public
signs that say for instance "toilet 50 m"
I sometimes wonder whether the ring-leader of that bunch isn't just a teeny
bit of an embarrassment.
