So we need to be teaching the young the metric system and wait=
 until all the old farts die off.   Then we'll bury them 1.8288=
 meters deep...;-]

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>
