Mr Schweisthal
You are fully aware that all my posts are true (I have really no reason to waste my time making up elaborate stories which I will have to remember forever just to keep you on the boil). There should be some recognition now that Lee's main reason for being here is to take my posts and "make them wrong". Either by pedantry or by twisting what I have said to mean something different. If you don't believe me take a look at the "posting tree" regarding responses to my posts. Others are always welcome to contact me privately (which has happened quite a lot) or publicly and I will answer points regarding those posts. I still find it rather telling that known extremists have to make up names to post behind (and in the case of Lee, rather sinisterly). Fortunately I don't have to answer every point by you or Lee as I have already made the reasoning clear a while ago (this is simply a 'reminder'). however I do find it unfair that people have gone out of their way to unsubscribe on the weekend to avoid you - only to have you spam the place during the week. Any chance you could go back to being the "weekend warrior", as before?

What he really means is that You are already aware that milk in supermarkets and shops are always primarily labelled in litres or millilitres but are also frequently labelled in pints too (but only as a secondary, supplementary unit) --- On Mon, 27/4/09, Stephen Humphreys <barkatf...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Stephen Humphreys <barkatf...@hotmail..com> Subject: [USMA:44893] RE: FPLA 2010 To: "U.S. Metric Association" <usma@colostate.edu> Date: Monday, 27 April, 2009, 11:49 PM You are already aware that milk in supermarkets and shops are frequently labelled in pints too.

Do you know approximately how many people still purchase milk from a milkman?

However, Member States of the EU are anticipated to *permit* but not require non-metric units as "supplementary indications" beyond January 1, as does the UK now. Since "2010 January 1" is a "transition" date it seems appropriate as the target date for a new FPLA; "FPLA 2010" with time for new legislation in the United States. The present FPLA *requires both* metric and inch-pound units. This requirement for duality *does not* conform with the EU Metric Directive which requires metric units and merely permits non-metric units, even beyond January 1 ---- Original message ---- >Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:18:24 +0000 >From: mholm...@bellsouth.net >Subject: Re: [USMA:44855] FPLA 2010 as FPLA-4-24..pdf >To: mech...@illinois.edu, "U.S. Metric Association" <usma@colostate.edu> >Cc: <mech...@illinois.edu> > > Why 2010?
