Why do I have to convert people's units for them?
Heh. Funny title. But seriously. Why do I? I mean *it's a Google away*. I have a handy unit converter program, but even if they don't have one, isn't it just as easy to google something like "centimeter inches unit conversion", find a website, enter the number of centimeters, hit return, and get the answer, rather than having to write me to ask me about how long in inches my widgets are (when I list the length in the metric system on my webpage)? Why would *I* be privy to this arcane knowledge of how long in inches 8 centimeters is and they wouldn't?

BTW, the answer is 3.1496063 inches.

Because people are insane. Hmmm. The list is getting longer: Stupid, evil, and insane. Can't they guesstimate? Don't they have any inkling of how long one cm is? Some of my son's medicine droppers are in ml/cc and not tsp. I just have to know how much each is...
