They have, of course, abused the term metric time, for which the accepted base unit is the second (s), not the day. Do I sense the imminence of messages from our friend Brij? Bill SI Navigator (http://metric1.org) P.S. I'm planning to sell the domains, metric1.com and metric1.net. As they're "premium" domain names (especially metric1.com), being short, pronounceable, and having the only really acceptable numeral (1), which is used to mean what it indicates ("one"-as opposed, for example, to 4 meaning "for" and 2 meaning "to" or "too"), I'm hoping to get a good price. By the way, because of the nature of this list, this isn't a solicitation for offers.
