Or if converting, why not convert to something reasonable like Kilos? We in the US should know all about holding onto archaic measurements. What's the history/context here? If 'stone' is the what someone is used to using, then that's what they will use. Or maybe they used it in protest of, or to call attention to the silliness of maintaining US measurements? ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
