Thank you Linda.
I believe most people know that Daniel Jackson is actually John P
Schweisthal, a well known anti-American from Ohio who has used the metric
debate in his hope of some form of bizzare dollar collapse rendering the USA
a third world style country. He has been banned from the USMA site as his
various alter egos which include euric, kilopascal, ametrica, erin gobragh
amongst others. You can search on those names via google to see his
"footprint".
I am not anti-metric, I am pro-choice. Never have I said I am anti-metric.
In fact I have made it known that my objection to dual signage in the UK is
similar to my objection to imperial measures on medicine, for example - and
that I use millimetres over 1/32ths for small measures. Hardly
"anti-metric" in practice. I enjoy most of the debates here and rarely get
involved, preferring to just read and maybe comment on posts related to my
own country - not really a desperate attempt to "say imperial words". I also
note that there is a breadth of opinion. However I also realise that Daniel
is the best thing an "anti-metic" could ask for and as such has never been
banned from any of the BWMA boards. On those boards he regularly informs us
that anyone who likes imperial measures are stupid, unemployed, fat, ugly,
poor, peasants, unproffessional, American, etc. He also constantly reminds
us of the imminent dollar collapse (for which he has been praying for in his
50 yrs on earth) and how awful the UK economy is because "we don't use the
euro". The lies he spreads about the UK are just hilarious and not worth
arguing over. Apparently there are "metric survey markers" all over the
UK!!
As "Daniel" he has been banned from this site - quite rightly too, because
as someone who is NOT anti-metric I can see the damage such an individual
can do to that cause. In fact I am surprised that no millitant anti-metric
group has used his actions and words. If I was anti-metic I would be
encouraging this forum to "un ban" him.
So do not worry, Linda, to be insulted by "Daniel" is an honour.
I am also not put off by his sinister side - that is, trying to find out my
passwords, trying to locate where I live in the UK (unsuccesfully),
conspiring with who he thinks are "on his side" to mount an offensive attack
on me or my wife, trying to discover who my employer is in order to put my
job in jeapardy.
This, folks, is the "hidden" side of "Daniel" (John P Schwiesthal) that I
have tended to keep quiet about. Nice chap eh? Well what would you expect
from someone who actually thinks that the topic of measures is, in reality,
a declaration of war (and the reason behind, and started with, the Iraq
attack - because of metric oil and saddam adopting the euro - makes sense,
huh?).
Considering his delusion about "war" and his eagerness to find out where I
live I am still careful with any post (mail) I receive at home - should it
be from America. I've heard stories about twisted individuals out there and
the lengths they will go to so you cannot take anything for granted.
I note, however, that "Daniel" has started posting here "via the back door".
Fortunately those efforts have been generally ignored (I mean, how many
people here are really interested in oil and the EU economy, etc?).
So thanks again, Linda, for emailing this to me (publicly) and thanks again
"Daniel" for showing yourself up once again.
Should anyone want to know more details about "Daniel" feel free to email me
personally, or email me if you really are that interested in my view on
"anti-metric", "pro-metric", "anti/pro-imperial" etc etc. Otherwise the
best practice would be to take "Daniel"s point of view and reverse it - that
usually gives a more honest reflection.
Cheers
SteveH
P.S. Yes, you *have* made my day JPS! ;-)

I find it disturbing that Mr. Humpherys was not on the list of recipients
of the following, so he could have an opportunity to respond to it. He was
not even included in the form of a courtesy copy.

Stephen Humphreys did not post so he could offer some intelligence to what
you were saying, but only to say something imperial. I'll bet he would
never post something using a metric reference as an example.
He is an admitted anti-metric. You are better off if you ignore him.

So if you have 500 mL of a 5.5% beer, you would have consumed 2.75 units of
alcohol (half of 5.5).
If on the other hand you had consumed 568 mL of of a 5.5% beer - where is
my
calculator?
