I just did a google search on "Malin F2M" and got a bunch of hits for
transgender organizations! Seems F2M also stands for female to male <g>.
found http://www.freedom2measure.org/ what a bunch of hooey, but no mention
of Malin. Mailing address is Arlington, Texas. Maybe he sells propane and
has a son named Bobby.
A lot of the tripe in that website keeps emphasizing that nobody asked them
if we should metricate and how undemocratic it all is. I would love to have
a vote. Virtually all my students can't figure out what the hang-up is and
we should just convert now.
