Stephen, Rachtmann sirs:
Though I'm not
well-versed on the issue, its clear both sides would lose if neither
yielded.
"The boy is dangerous, they all sense it why can't you?"
I am NOT SURE if my post have meant anything to change the American way of
'thinking', in making headway while we can - to go along the 'progressive
technology in accepting CGPM directives' or keep waiting IN THE HOPE of
seeing a reversal.
Somehow, I do not see it happening on Earth, unless the *body itself* meets
the fate like that of League of Nations & and so far of
'diplomatic/religious interference' at United Nations in respect to Calendar
Reform - a need that EXISTS but seeing with closed mind.
How far & till when can we defer? And, who is th boy who poses danger to
humanity?

New post name. Not new poster
You are Daniel (or 'euric', or 'kilopascal', or 'daniel', or etc)
Check out "Bernard Rachtmann's" posts on the bwma site to see the usual
'dollar collapse' and assortment of full-on anti-american sentiment whilst
using metric as the excuse for that anti-americanism. Other posters - be
aware for more posts that end up damaging the cause of metric with bizzare
notions about the UK and irrelevent information about how economies work.
Don't be fooled, folks.

Hi, new poster here.
In a nutshell I can't see it happening...
I suspect a compromise will ultimately be struck. Conversely, I am not
surprised that the FPLA hasn't been amended....yet. Though I'm not
well-versed on the issue, its clear both sides would lose if neither
yielded. Also if only one were to yield there would still be trade
dilemas. My guess is that this particular EU directive will be
suspended indefinitely, while FPLA will be amended.
Lets be honest here, many American consumers are familiar with certain
inch-pound sizes (I can't see milk exclusively marked "3.79 L." with no
mention of gallon by 2010, etc), and should there be extras or a
packaging run duplicated, they'll want the potential market still open.
Now, a EU-made product thats all metric would need only slap a sticker
on for US sales, rather than tear off or marker out the contents.
Besides, doesn't this directive also ban inch/pound from advertisements,
brochures and even websites? This realistically would cause too much
commotion in commerce.
Perhaps they haven't amended it yet so it could be used as a potential
bargaining chip.
