Do I hear an echo? I said that very same
thing. In fact I mentioned that in my letter to Mr. Petersen.

That test (copied below) given at the end of Jim Freysinger's
interview by Bo Petersen of the Charleston, SC "Post and Courier" is decidedly
NOT a "Metric" test. Four of the five questions ask for relations between Olde
English measurements and metric measurements.
Testing one's metric
knowledge should involve questions that are solely about the metric
system.
