Eddie,
I don't believe anyone said that. Can you find where someone said something
like that and see if we can ascertain whether the statement has been
misunderstood?
I may have said "maybe he has a valid point" in connection with something
ELSE that he said. Specifically, that the fact that other people believe as
he does might lead to legal battles against any federally mandated
metrication which could cause more harm than good to the metric cause.
Please note, that I say "maybe". It is probably somethin gwe need to think
about and be award of.
Bill
