metric system newsgroup call for votes #1

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:

CHARTER: misc.metric-system

This newsgroup is for discussion about the International System of
Units (SI) or metric system, including its use in scientific,
technical, and consumer applications, its history and definition, and
its adoption in fields and regions where other units of measurement
are still prevalent (metrication). Included within its scope are
related global standards and conventions, for example metric product
specifications and consumer-product labelling practice.

END CHARTER.


I can't post the complete "call for votes" message because that's
against the rules. However, you can read it in the Googol archive:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...3662%40isc.org

Deadline for votes is 2003-11-25 23:59:59 UTC.

I make that 6' 6" too short.

Is "meter" a typo for "metre"?

If so, your pole is 1.9812 m too short.

Do you even know what a pitot tube is, little freak?

I don't think we need to hear what you think of Gord's crank.
