Carsten,
obviously this guy is beyond the conversation metric/ imp syst, he is just
blind and bitter after the french, probably because of envy.
and the rainbow warrior what does have to do with anything anyways, are the
french angry at the US because a piece of junk left on a runway by a US
plane of a US airline caused deth and destruction of the unchallenged
supersonic Concorde.
his insults will not hide the fact that French pioneers and inventors are
all over in scuba and submarine design.
and for terror and war, not to forget that the first sub ever to sink a ship
was US
as far as metric or imp i use them both, adapting to the whatever the
situation.
those conversations on what we should drive left or right line, pray Allah
or God, or use a system rather another are useless
