misc.metric-system

In case you have not already seen it:

We are trying to set up a new newsgroup

misc.metric-system

dedicated to discussions about the metric system and its introduction
in areas where it is not yet widely used.

Related threads have flared up in this group in the past. So if you
are interested in this topic and group, please participate in this
ballot. (At least ~150 votes are necessary before a group has a
realistic chance of being created.)

The "Call for Votes" with a description of the proposed group and
exact instructions on how to vote has just been posted to

news.announce.newgroups

It is also available by sending an email to



and it can be downloaded from the USENET Volunteer Votetakers website
on

http://www.uvv.org/cgi-bin/getmsg/2440

Votes have to be submitted by email, formatted exactly according to
the instructions given in the "Call for Votes". Your vote has been
counted only if you receive a confirmation reply.

The ballot closes 25 November 2003.

Thanks for your time,
