Why not 'tubAnet'. Sorry. I always ask really stoopid questions.

Because in the early days of 'Tubenet' googling 'tubanet' used to turn up a website dedicated to tubal ligation. Sean made a good decision.

Back in the day urls always had to be lower case, so you couldn't just substitute an "A" for an "a"... I don't know if that's still true.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I guess someone should ask - how do you pronounce "Tubenet"?

Toob net? Tyoob net?
To be net - or, not to be net?
