  regards,

  Bernhard,
  Even tho, I have spoken out against Metric, many times, I agree with =
you. However, until olde farts, like me, that were only taught "English =
Measure" and "Machinist's Measure", (which is a decimal equivalent of =
English Measure), pass on to the great Concert Hall in the sky, there =
will be this controversy. Most schools, in the US, are now teaching =
Metric and soon the problem will be solved. Many consumer goods, in the =
US are in Metric. Not all, tho, so the problem still exists. I truly =
wish my brain could wrap around the Metric concept, but it doesn't. =
Believe me, I try, on a daily basis, to use Metric. It's an uphill =
battle! :-( The one area that brings great amusement is the lumber =
industry. I don't think there will ever be anything other than a 2x4, =
etc.<G>


  Joe, you may think you're a stud, but 2x4's haven't been around for a =
long time.  Drives remodelers nuts.  Double (G)
