Well, as a matter of fact, there IS a lot of information at that site,
   http://www.metric1.org/
Having gone to the time building it and the expense posting it, Bill is
well justified in periodic references to the SI Navigator. Besides, we
have some on this list who lose URLs periodically so they benefit from
being reminded, in addition to the newcomers to the list who might see
this for the first time.

OTOH, I don't think that "[i]t's all there on that site". A lot of it is
on my two sites:
   http://www.cofc.edu/~frysingj/SIguidelines.htm
   http://www.metricmethods.com/
And of course, there's the grandaddy of all sites, maintained by
volunteer effort also:
   http://www.metric.org/
Now, that's just a short list of sites that are posted by dint of
volunteer labor and expense. By the way, the last link is an alias (I
believe it's called) that yet another person volunteered the funds for
so that the USMA home page could be advertised by a memorable URL. Come
to think of it, all the people mentioned above are USMA members who
support the effort with their dues.

What have you got, John? It's your turn to brag.
