Re: Party\'s USA biased
Hey, lets not forget all of us on the west coast, it blows to have a tourney that starts before most people would get home from work, or early in the morning on the weekends, nevermind those that live in Hawaii (3 hours behind LA)

But as far as I know, the US still recognizes the Imperial System as their standard units, whether the majority of people prefer it or not. I suppose the "proud/ignorant" comment was uncalled for and an overgeneralization.

Re: Party\'s USA biased
That can be noted as an exception (along with weight, and certain other measurements) as most people using the metric system would not be able to tell you that. I for one, would not know it off hand, it would take me about 10 secs or so to think about it.

You seem to forget that Party's job is to maximize profits, not please niche markets.
