I [love] the way that people clutch at straws, and use trivial examples to try to make metric look bad! Chris -- Metrication information: http://www.metric.org.uk/ UK legislation, EC Directives, Trading Standards links and more Pro-metric mailing list now available. Unfortunately these 'clutched straws' usually help their cause more than any logical or economic arguement that the pro-SI forces can make. It is not until many are forced to work with SI do they realize the advantages. That's were strong legislation comes into play. This is something that we now lack in Canada. Many just want to wrongly believe that imperial is better and they'll spread this nonsense without question. greg
