There you go. Much easier. On a related subject, I couldn't help but note the following thread. The "we don't want it.." comment reveals a bit of deperation, that the founding of misc.metric-system implies inevitable future growth.
I also like the define "we" comment, as "we" certainly doesn't include me either!

We don't want it. We don't need it. We can't afford it. That 'we' most certainly does NOT include me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chimpsarecute Sent: Sunday, 2003 December 28 11:25 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:28015] RE: metric news group Groups Erweiterte Groups-Suche Einstellungen Suche nur in misc.metric-system Suche in allen Gruppen Web-Suche Gruppe: misc . metric-system Neuen Beitrag f�r misc.metric-system schreiben Diskussionsgruppen 1-25 von etwa 522 in misc.metric-system N�chste 19 Diskussionsthemen >> Datum Gegenstand der Diskussion Autoren der neuesten Beitr�ge 28.
