You're welcome!  One would think your logical assumption would prevail, but some measurement stuff comes down from ye olde ideas, like 3 barleycorns=1 inch, so (who knows) maybe the wire gauge evolved from wire used to make nails for horseshoes is size A, nails for people shoes is size B, a knitting needle wire is size C, and so on, in not necessarily a logical measurement progression.
