Steve- that was one of several menacing letters you sent directly to my box. I can upload you a screenshot or you can check your sent box if you've forgotten. I posted my responses to it here (probably a mistake). Do us all a favor and let this one go. Your alarming witchunt has nothing to do with metrication and gone well beyond absurd. Now that this topic has been exhausted, any further questions from you regarding me and your 'poster friend' will be ignored, or dealt through admin.
