Ladies & Gentlemen, I did not start the list thread about the metric system. While I stand by my opinion that the metric system would be an economic disaster for the U.S., I also realize that this list was NOT the appropriate place for me to express my opinion. I knew very well that this list is dedicated to our common love of aviation.
The fact that I was provoked by some personal attacks against me does not excuse my lapse in judgement. I did make most of my replies to this subject off the list privately and have made some new friends (foreigners believe it or not!) in that manner. Anyway, I was wrong to go so deeply into a non- aviation related subject on this list. I do deeply regret doing so. I also sincerely apologize to everyone except Dana Overall whom I believe should apologize to me. Anyway, you have my firm promise not to post anything else here that is not aviation related. That promise is good whether I am provoked or not. Anyone wanting to discuss anything with me is welcome to do it off the list to agate12@yahoo,com. I hope this makes proper amends and we can all go back to posting and reading about aviation. Kindest Personal Regards, Dean Allen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
