I used to subscribe but then decided not to renew due to SM's apparently anti-metric policy. Even articles that beg for the use of metric units are written in only non-metric units. A check of your online article about the flooding problem in Venice, Italy suggests that you have not changed your policy. Am I wrong? If you magazine has started using metric units (whether with or without including non-metric units) I will gladly subscribe. Please advise. regards, James R. Frysinger
