I thought that's the sort of arcane fact that only Americans know. (dictionary.reference.com tells me it's 14lbs, but also says that it varies with the article weighed[!] so that a butcher's stone is 8lbs, a stone of cheese 16lbs, of hemp 32lbs and of glass 5lbs. I don't think I've ever heard anything quite so absurd.) Rich GSV SI _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
