I jusyt find myself wondering why the heck there needed to be a change. 8 feet made some sense. Geep's 100 inches makes sense. But this new scale doesn't make sense in any system I know of. It isn't a simple multiple of any real unit. So the old figures are 93$ of their previous height? 6ft to 5ft 6in, or thereabouts. Was somebody getting intimidated by Vicky?
