Giant bummer!!! When I read about your Q about KpM, I knew I've delt with it before, but I couldnt remember the excact factor, so I called a friend of mine who is a tech. He said something just from the top of his head, and later double-checking in a book, just to see that he was wrong! 1KpM is in fact the same as 1 KgM.
