   I can remember one of the presenters on   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow%27s_World   
   deliberately saying cycles per second instead of Hz because that expressed   
   what he wanted to say.   
   Naming units after people is not very sensible in my view because it just adds   
   confusion. cycles/s or cycles*s^-1 is fine with me.   
   Then it becomes trivial to see how it can be turned into seconds per cycle,   
   should there be a need to do that.   
   Why doesn't 1 mile per hour have a unit named after it?   
   Perhaps we should call it 1 Sloman.   
      
   There is clearly more than one person here who thinks that this would   
   be a better group if you could leave completely Bill.   
      
   I've worked in many places where you wouldn't get a job. Even if you   
   could do the work. And if you did get the job you'd probably end up   
   leaving due to you thinking you'd been badly treated, when in fact it   
   was you who had treated others badly.
