In the world according to Carla Fairbanks, everyone benefits from
global standards of measurement.

How unfortunate then, that the star-bangled cowboys who run things in
the land of litigation and the home of dimpled chad ballots, cannot
come to the worldwide party. Even the quaint and proper folks in the
old country who popularized the imperial system trashed it 30 years ago.

So to have America�fs scientific and engineering communities.

From the global and borderless perspective of the web, rec.scuba often
has a back-water, male-bonding, gun-toting, Monday night football, good
ol boys atmosphere that leaves much to be desired.

Whatever.

Understand this: Feet are what you are standing on. Depth is measured
in meters.

The world is waiting. Carla is waiting. Make your move cowboy. Go
metric.
