     Never heard the term before.  Learn something new every day.

     Don't pity me too much on that point.  I'M not suffering, and I 
try to spread the gospel when I can.

     On the other hand, I do envy you folks the metric system.  He may 
or may not have done many great things, but Reagan's reversal of the 
American conversion to the metric system has had tragic long-term 
consequences.

     I almost went ahead and measured everything in metric anyway, but 
it was one hurdle too many to clear while building the house.

     Bah.
