I have sent two posts to Metricsucks just now. I cannot yet find this postings there yet. Answer to
1/4&1/2&1 stat.fur. race & 1/4&1/2&1 stat.ml. Posted By: SteveH
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In Response To: Re: 1/4&1/2&1 stat.fur. race & 1/4&1/2&1 stat.ml. (Han Maenen) Sounds like Euric nicking names again. BTW - I'm a size 7 shoe (7 and a half to
be exact) - this is based on imperial measures. Tell me about 12" records........ The answer: This is emphatically NOT Euric
nicking names again. But he and I fight on the same side, that is clear. I am a
user of the metric system, living in a metric nation, The Netherlands. BTW, The Netherlands was the
first nation in the world to go metric in 1820. Under Napoleon France had
reverted to old measuring units; she went metric by law of 1837 July 4. 12 inch records are almost
extinct, anyway. Long live the 12 cm CD and DVD disks. And for someone else on this
board: it is NOT 12c/m CD and DVD
disks. Han Maenen, The Netherlands Second post, answer to

of April 15th @ 12:44 (Down with
the medieval am/pm clock!) You have corrupted my message
as well with incorrect gobbledygook. Which standard prescribes that the symbol
for metre is -/m? The correct symbol is m How many tons do you use? I
think that one is enough, and for me that is the metric ton. > ‘’We hardly ever use this

dead, but so is Napoleon. Napoleon was OPPOSED to the
metric system and he almost destroyed it. He should be your great hero! At
least it appears that the metric system has nothing to do whatsoever with
this tyrant. Not only do you deliberately
make metric much more complicated as it actually is, you are even doing it to
your own measuring units. > 1. Divide 1 av.lb. by
