Gene, You will never get an accurate count of the value of lost exports from the US products not being SI. Those who are turned off to products not being SI simply go elsewhere without a whimper. So the company is never aware of why their sales are suffering.
If you went to a restaurant and didn't like the food, would you complain to the manager or would you simply not go there in the future? It is the same philosophy.

SI is already "preferred" by public law in the US. Congress and (by delegation) other Federal entities have "fixed" or "set" or prescribed units to be used, not always SI and sometimes with *contradictions* that need to be erased. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:19:00 -0700 (PDT) >From: Jeremiah MacGregor <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [USMA:43962] Re: US Standard >To: [email protected], "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> > > So Gene, what do you think would inspire a large > majority of members...
