I'm posting this to a couple newsgroups where I remember discussions
drifting off-topic into units of measure.

There's a vote going now on creating a newsgroup about the metric
system:

The metric system is off topic for aviation newsgroups.

Certainly not.

Even if the new newsgroup was formed, we'll still have to keep posting
about it here to keep John Tarver straight.

I'm surprised you aren't pushing hard to get people to vote for this
new group.

I have already done my part, through Congressman Klinger, to kill off
communisms units of measure, in the public square.
