I'm a lifetime member of the USMA and regularly donate a fairly significant amount of money to the organization. Everyone else on the list, when was the last time you donated? If not in the last 12 months, why not? Seriously. Some people it might be for financial reasons, but if that's not the case, what's been stopping you? I've created a short survey and will send out the link in a few minutes. > That's an excellent source of information. Most of the questions > asked about this topic lately have already been answered there. It is, the problem is that our best forms of communication and information passing are members only. There are very few people on this planet who are going to join so they can get access to Metric Today and if all our resources for advancing metrication are behind a password protected area, we're not getting our message out as effectively as we could be. I think we'd be better off making all the stuff locked in the members area public information. Sure getting a hard copy in the mail can be a members benefit, but getting information out there and making the USMA more visible is in our best interests. This is my opinion at least. I'd love to know what others think. Paul -- End dual-measurement, let's finish going metric! http://gometric.us/ http://www.metric.org/
