Mr Steele. I totally agree. I think you hit the nail on the head with
that very insightful comment.

The bigger problem is "50 States = 50 Ways." Eventually, the Feds would
have to step in to restore some order. However, I have no problem using
it temporarily as a "cattle prod" to get the Feds moving on metrication;
nothing else has worked.

Yes indeed, Thank you Don.
With 110 names on our list, one would think that those 110 people
probably live in at least ten or perhaps even twenty or so states. We
have state metrication legislation pending in Hawaii (HB36). We have
state metrication legislation pending in Oregon (LC44). Please
consider introducing state metrication legislation in your state too
so we can give momentum to this trend. I know that some may argue
against this state-by-state strategy, and I agree that a federal
mandate would be preferable, but a federal mandate seems unlikely in
light of the current gridlock in Congress. Even though a
state-by-state metrication legislation strategy may not be ideal, at
least it sends a message that some Americans in some states want
metrication. Who knows? It just might work. I say we give it a try.
What say you? Please consider introducing metrication legislation in
YOUR state.

Probably a good time to thank Don for coordinating this list for all
these years, I think we sometimes forget he is the quite guy keeping
it going and thanks to Colorado State for hosting.
I agree, unless we hit some sort of server limit to
the number of users, the more the merrier even if they just listen in.

But how many
actually post? Why sign up if you have no intention to post?
Do you drop people off who
don’t post a message after a fixed amount of time?
